Convert HD5 to HD5 Extended
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2021 6:58 am
I am looking to convert My HD5 to an HD5 Extended. I have asked NWA customer support for help, their suggestion was to buy a new bed for $2000. Not very practical, I am sure I can do it for under $1000.
I asked NWA customer support for a parts manual for my machine. They sent me a link for my owners manual. Very disappointing in NWA customer support.
Pretty sure I need 1ea Lead Screw for HD Extended SKU 300835 and 14ea ALUMINUM T-TRACK 63" SKU 200032
total so far $589
what I am not sure about is the 20mm linear rods. Are the rods the same style as the HD5 just longer or are they “fully supported linear rods” ? Can anybody tell me how long they are?
Are there any other parts that are different between the HD5 and the HD5 Extended?
Thank you so much for any Help.
