Upgrading tube and mirror mounts
Hey all,
I just wanted to get options from some of you that may have gone down the same path I'm thinking of taking. Have any of you upgraded the mirror mounts and/or tube mount in your K40 with these:

http://www.lightobject.com/Pro-20mm-ref ... -P589.aspx
I just wanted to see if anyone has any feedback - such as, do they actually fit/work in the K40's.
Thanks

Hey Marco, do you happen to know off-hand if the 60mm tube mounts you offer for sale can be used in a K-40 machine ?

It won't work because the K40 has very limited- space

I'm no expert Teacdance, I will leave that to Marco but just for your info, I have the DK40 albeit upgraded to X7 standard. I have both the 38.1 and 50.8. I am cutting 2mm and 3mm acrylic for flight sim panels and the 50.8 does the best job in my opinion. Have a search around other posts on the forum and see what others are using until Marco gets back to you. What works for me might be different for others.

Re: Upgrading tube and mirror mounts
If you want to engrave better, then go for 30.8mm. For cutting 3mm~5mm, you better stick with 50.8mm

Re: Upgrading tube and mirror mounts
yep 50.8mm is better... 30.8mm fit just k40 machine and it's hard to focus if you don't have lifted table.. I have to maybe buy that nextTeacDance wrote:OK i allready order those i have to do little test.Tech_Marco wrote:If you want to engrave better, then go for 30.8mm.
