Rapidchange on X axis
After discovering that the Rapidchange ATC moving table could interfere with thicker panels on the CNC I decided to move it over onto the side of the CNC table.
With it now running along the X-axis lengthwise it does not extend over the CNC work area and there is no potential conflict between the bottom of the moving ATC table and a thicker panel on the CNC.

Rapidchage ATC on upgraded Precix 4x8 CNC Router

12/19/2024 This was the initial location for the extending table for the ATC. After realizing it may not clear thicker 4x8 panels due to the limited height I had under the low gantry I relocated it along the edge of the table. See the next video in the series to see it working in the new location. This is the completed installation of the Rapidchange ATC on my retirement early 2000s Precix 4x8 ...

Rapidchange ATC with external touch down probe. Note how the spindle picks up the router, collet and bit and then takes it to the touch probe to be measured. After measurement the router bit is taken over to a wood sample so you can see that UCCNC has recorded the bit length and to tool returns to the same Z0 as the previous bits.
No way!!! Love it. Now I need one. Hahahha.
nice job
You've done a fantastic job installing the automatic tool changer & sliding mechanism, it's impressive....it's what i need...any chance you might share how to make it slide out of the way?.....thanks, Martin
Thanks. I gave a general explanation in one of the earlier replies. Basically linear guides plus a double acting air cylinder. You need to use an output on your control to activate and deactivate a 2-stage air solenoid that sends pressure to one or the other air line input on the air cylinder. The platform has to be high enough to clear your spoilboard and any work material that might be on the table.......with additional space for any bit tip that might be extending below the platform. I'm right at the limit if I have a new 3/4" spoilboard and a full 3/4" material to cut.
Where can I buy this?
www.rapidchangeatc.com You want to talk with Don when you call. He's the developer and owner of the company.
@@BHDavis-Woodstuff I don’t see a phone number on the website
@@codarussell7925 Yeah.......guess you are right. Use the form and let him know you are interested in a purchase. I'd be surprised if you didn't hear back within a few hours. Meanwhile I forward him this discussion so he'll know to expect your contact form.
Very cool. Any more info on how you made the pneumatic controlled platform and how to implement that in the the Rapidchange macro? cheers
I used parts from Amazon. A linear slide setup and a double acting air cylinder. Pre and Post M6 Tool call custom macros (set this up in the Rapidchange configuration) activate the pin output that sends current to an air solenoid. The solenoid activates the air flow to the double acting cylinder. Basically just that simple.
@@BHDavis-Woodstuffdoes RapidChange ATC support grbl?
@@arbjful I think so. You can find out more on their Discord site.
