<title>Operating in a vertical position</title>
<description> I have a project requiring machining in the horizontal position. I built a fixture to mount the Handibot in the vertical position. There doesn&amp;#039;t seem to be enough drive to move in the Y direction. Is there a way this can be accomplished?</description><link>https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2918,2918#msg-2918</link><lastBuildDate>Tue, 16 Jun 2026 08:27:37 -0400</lastBuildDate>

<title>Re: Operating in a vertical position</title><link>https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2918,2929#msg-2929</link><description><![CDATA[ I would actually recommend running X Vertical. The original handibot in the video was a bit lighter (less metal parts and no hood) which made it easier to run at normal speeds with Y vertical.<br /><br />I&#039;d also recommend turning the speed down in your cut file (edit the bit settings in vcarve and recalculate the cut).<br />Also the &quot;maximum jerk&quot; settings in the Configuration/Axis menu--these control how quickly the axis ramps up in speed. The default value is 50 (50 inches per second per second per second -- it is the first derivative of acceleration) setting this value to 10 will make the tool much less aggressive when it changes direction and will help prevent stalling.]]></description>

However, the video online shows it running vertically in Y for wall outlets. I ran X vertically. Not sure if it is OK to do it long term.]]></description>

The X axis only needs to lift the router and Z axis--as opposed to the Y axis needing to lift the whole tool.]]></description>
