[@foxalien_official]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!! We will update the user manual soon!!😁

[@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman]

Awesome!!!! Thanks for putting out a great, easy to install product!

[@natechan2586]

What a huge box, Man!!! Great machine!

[@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman]

Thanks Nate!!! I was able to man handle it! 😂

[@jjdominguez4616]

Hey, thank you for the video. gave me new ideas for my FOX Alien. Do you think it's worth upgrading my Masurer pro, if there is an extension?

[@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman]

There is an 4080 extension kit for the Masuter Pro. It makes the Y axis longer. I have it and it’s a great upgrade!!! I say go for it! It’s better to be able to do larger projects! Thanks for watching!!!

[@jjdominguez4616]

Ok, thank you for your reply, I'll try to get it.

[@carlostantalean3423]

Very informative, I am in the hunt for a shop Cnc Router that I can use for starboard and aluminum plates. My brain is so confused with all the varieties and machines and would like to know what you recommend and is Fox Alien 8040 a good machine.

[@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman]

Thanks for watching!!! This foxalien is a GREAT Machine! I know there are a lot of choices out there and a lot I have not messed with! I love the machines I have reviews so far. I would go with a ball screw / linear rail before belt driven. Hope that helped a little!!

[@jeremyt1917]

Haven't finished the video yet, but how does this compare to your Nymolabs?

[@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman]

Hey! I love both machines but this one is my go to. Mainly because I have the vac system and relay all hooked up!

[@IceCreams62]

Hi. Sorry to bother you again but i need a confirmation. In the site page about this expansion kit they stated there is ''ONE'' Dust Baffle, but watching your unboxing they seem to be ''TWO''. Could you please let me know ? (ps: sorry for my poor English)

[@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman]

Can you post a link? I don’t see anything about a dust baffle. If your your talking about the sides on the spoil board to protects from dust getting in the Y rails…. It comes with Two.

[@IceCreams62]

@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman Yes, thanks, i was talking about that. Perfect 🙂

[@saschacontes2305]

How much rigidity are you loosing with this extension?

[@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman]

Zero. These machines are very well built with no flex.

[@arthurpetch2874]

What would be a good table size for the XE Pro 8040?

[@arthurpetch2874]

I see at about 16 minute point you suggest a bench size of 32 inches deep by 51 inches wide.

[@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman]

Yup!!! Go wider if you want space for laptop or more space!
