Took the trailer out on the back porch: https://youtu.be/nEuYknNFUiQ

[toniolillo]

I really like your work, I can explain if the back are two ramps?

[jack van]

so what do you think about the stepcraft cnc machine i am thinking of getting the 820 would love to see what you think

[egronvold]

Thanks!
The two pieces will be working ramps.

It's been working very well for me. I think the 820 will be a good machine. From what I read at their homepage, it seems to have more robust components.

Made some parts for the ramps during Easter: https://youtu.be/jt_7Rl86D8Y
