'''Bed size''': 250mm x 340mm (10"x 13"). The Z travel is 105mm. The clearance below the gantry is also about 105mm so this is the thickest material that could be mounted, although the router can be adjusted higher if the material has the right shape to clear the gantry. There is about a 60mm offset from the gantry to the router bit (in the Y axis) that could be used for taller pieces. | '''Bed size''': 250mm x 340mm (10"x 13"). The Z travel is 105mm.
