    I got into a kick recently of trying out the x41 and it proved to be a slight challenge to get this one off the ground for a sustained amount of time. I went through so many I was desperate to get 2 of this plane out from a single sheet. I managed it but its tight. REAL tight I had to increase the permitted size of the cnc area and you really don't have more than a half inch on each of the 4 sides so take the extra few minutes and make sure the sheet is straight. I used a 1/16 bit at 50 ipm and on the mkiii ( you can get the sheet straight then feed the sheet back further to use more of the working area).

    BE SURE TO CHECK Measurements So that you have enough room on the sheet!!! You have been warned :D Attached files x41_DualCut_V2.cnc (70 KB)Â x41_DualCut_V2.skp (594.5 KB)Â
