Title:

Operating the WorkBee in a near vertical orientation?

Text:

Can the WorkBee be operated with the table in a vertical (or near vertical) orientation rather than (flat) horizontal to minimize the workshop footprint for a given table size ?  I’ve just started reading through all of the excellent documentation but didn’t immediately see any guidance on siting or orienting the equipment. I can imagine there might be some challenges with leadscrew wear driving the carriage against gravity; some challenges with securing raw material to the base; ensuring the steppers are at the “top” rather than the bottom etc  but wondered if running a machine at a tilt of say 80-degrees is viable ?
