I have recently taken delivery of my Extended Length Base, and wonder if anyone has designed an accessory base for it? It is a project I will embark upon but for now, it is on the back burner whilst I get on with other things.https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2875#msg-2875Tue, 19 May 2026 21:08:57 -0400 Phorum 5.2.22 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2914#msg-2914 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2914#msg-2914The ELB fitted across the festoon hole spacing using T-Bolts and spacers it nicely clamps to the table.
The good thing with this approach it is square to the table and cheap.
You can make your own table with the correct hole spacing.

I am trying to source single bench dogs of the correct height without the spacers - more to come on that.
using the extrusion and spacer technique you can produce an envelope under the ELB that will cover most needs]]> John877 Handibot ForumSun, 07 Jan 2018 19:58:19 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2898#msg-2898 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2898#msg-2898

What's the part number on the vacuum tubing?

Thanks,

The extra wire for the rotary axis fits through the e-chain that carries the Y axis motor cable...which is nice.]]> Brian Owen, ShopBot Handibot ForumSun, 24 Dec 2017 19:29:35 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2893#msg-2893 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2893#msg-2893 Brian Owen, ShopBot Handibot ForumSun, 24 Dec 2017 14:31:36 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2892#msg-2892 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2892#msg-2892Kind of a shame I'm heading out of town for a few days as I have to leave all my toys home]]> Mark Evans Handibot ForumSun, 24 Dec 2017 13:53:34 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2891#msg-2891 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2891#msg-2891sites.google.com]]]> Brian Owen, ShopBot Handibot ForumSun, 24 Dec 2017 13:49:15 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2889#msg-2889 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2889#msg-2889www.youtube.com]

I'm kinda hooked on this pen turning setup that Ted has been working on right now though...I think I can just bolt a piece of extrusion onto the yellow pads at the very base of the LST--it'll give just enough clearance for a 3" piece of stock in the rotary axis. I'm about to run out to the shop and see if I've got the materials I need. Will post later if it works!]]> Brian Owen, ShopBot Handibot ForumSun, 24 Dec 2017 13:38:56 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2887#msg-2887 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2887#msg-2887
I don't have a Festool table and at $700 I doubt I will but I love the simple concept.]]> Mark Evans Handibot ForumSat, 23 Dec 2017 21:06:43 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2886#msg-2886 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2886#msg-2886
I have made some supports for my Festool MFT table.
I had the 1.5 x 1.5 x 6 inch side pieces cut by 80/20 inc and then I cut a 1 inch slots to pass the T-slot bolts through.
You can see them in the attached pictures on each corner.
I added knobs so you can adjust and align the ELB Handibot
This will give about an 1 inch space under the extended base. ( By changing the side spacers you can vary the height of the extended base).
As you can see from the pictures you can pass a 24x96 sheet of 3/4 inch ply and clamp to the table for rigidity.
I will also add a fence to the front so that you can pass any length under the base and keep it square.
A great way to get very thing square and rigid.
I have passed a couple of sheets through with great success

A great addition with my Festool table]]> John877 Handibot ForumSat, 23 Dec 2017 19:12:03 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2879#msg-2879 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2879#msg-2879 Brian Owen, ShopBot Handibot ForumSun, 17 Dec 2017 16:24:41 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2878#msg-2878 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2875,2878#msg-2878Cheers,
