I made one a year ago.

but I never got around to trying to make it work. I did not have a good way to write the g code for the drag knife itself.

So there it sits.

Here is what I cam up with it is not 100% I have only made the 1 holder so far. the blade needs a little adjustment.

I wanted to create that same setup.

Any chance you could share the file?

Also Vetric Aspire now does drag knife integration...

I wanted to build this thing to be strong and last a long time. Cutting surface is 30"x 48" plus a 3" over hang cut for an end vise.

The complete frame is...

I think if you put the counterweight on a lineal slide that is rigid would not be whipping around. With the my guess 10-15# on the Z and a little cable with a pulley. the cable would not come off...

I think the counter weight idea is best. using pulley to pulley for the transfer. It would make the motor work easier too.

Here is my current build. imgur: the simple image sharer
I know it is a little over kill on the build. Cutting area is about 32"x42" and 6" on the Z axis. I figure build it...
