The WorkBee can be modified to have the spoiler board at different heights.

This is achieved by increasing the distance between the bottom of the Z-Axis and the top of the spoiler board. The easiest way to gain extra cut depth is to attach a spoiler board, which is the same size as the machine footprint, to your Workbench. Then fix the machine on top of this Spoilerboard, and remove the spoiler board supports.

If you originally had a 12mm spoiler board, this would gain you an extra 52mm of Z-Travel, this an extra 26mm of cut depth. Bringing the total cut depth to 73mm.

Would it be OK to invert the Support brackets thus lowering the support rails and then drop in the spoiler board with any required cutouts to get around the brackets?

Hi Pete,

There would be no issue doing this, if your plan has any extrusions about the surface of the spoilerboard, you just have to be careful to avoid these.
