That thing will not work the way you want it to.
On top of no rigitity in the frame, belts suck bad. They stretch constantly and have to be readjusted. They are just a cheap ass short cut. They are not meant to be used under loads experienced by a CNC router.
You're comparing apples and oranges here.
If anyone expects a $500 Lowrider hobbyist CNC to handle all the same materials, loads, feed-rates and cut-depths as a $5k-$35k professional model CNC, that is as insane as expecting a RasPi to run Gauntlet Legends at 100%.
- Is the Lowrider as strong as a commercial CNC? No.
- Is the Lowrider as rigid as a commercial CNC? No.
- Is the Lowrider as fast as a commercial CNC? No.
- Is the Lowrider as expensive as a commercial CNC? Fortunately, no.
There are many examples showing that a properly built Lowrider CNC is capable of accurately cutting MDF/plywood parts at reasonable loads, feed-rates and cut-depths for the Lowrider.
If you doubt the Lowrider's capabilities, here's one of many videos on YouTube showing it milling a part out of 1/4" aluminum.
