I'd like to start making some jigs, but to do that I really need to better understand the measurements from the zeroes of the carving envelope to the edges of the handibot. Does anyone have good measurements for a v2 handibot from y-zero to front and back of the handibot and x-zero to the left and right of the handibot? From what I understand it's 5" to the front of the machine. But I'm interested if people know what it is on the X-axis to each of the ends of the handles. I know I can do it myself, but I figured why reinvent the wheel if others have done it.https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2221,2221#msg-2221Sat, 18 Apr 2026 09:57:28 -0400 Phorum 5.2.22 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2221,2226#msg-2226 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2221,2226#msg-2226 Brian Owen, ShopBot Handibot ForumTue, 24 Jan 2017 10:47:07 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2221,2225#msg-2225 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2221,2225#msg-2225 Daniel Block Handibot ForumTue, 24 Jan 2017 10:45:07 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2221,2224#msg-2224 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2221,2224#msg-2224
I made a drawing of the key dimensions of the handibot base here: [workbench.grabcad.com]

If you look in Macro #3 (The xyz homing routine) you'll see two variables at the top "x_backoff" and "y_backoff"--these determine the home position of your tool by giving it a consistent distance to back off from the hard stop during the homing routine. If your 0,0 position is not aligned precisely to the points on your base plate--these values can be tweaked to correct that.
