Hi, I am putting together a milling setup using a positioner (DKP-400 in case it matters) and I'm wondering what others have found successful in terms of fixturing.  I'm thinking of interchangeable base plates of perhaps MDF or plywood to hold log-size work pieces, and assuming I can put lag screws through the bottom of those into the wood.  Being my own devils advocate, I'm concerned maybe those materials aren't quite stiff enough and will act like a trampoline (so maybe a metal plate with a hole pattern instead).

I'd love to see pictures and descriptions of setups that anyone else wants to share, or general advice on holding irregular workpieces so they won't vibrate during milling.  Thanks!

Support / KL4000 Linear Axis?

Hi, maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to find a KL4000 Linear Axis component in the 20221219 version.  I see there is a KL1500 component, and in looking at the manuals they have different mounting heights.  If I modify the robot base input origin to the right height, should I expect this to act appropriately for simulation, code generation, etc?  Not sure if there are other differences I'm unaware of.
