Step 1: Leg Assembly

Assemble the leg pieces by attaching the feet to the ends of 

the extrusion and attaching the 40mm gussets to the other end. 

The location of the gusset varies between the two 

configurations, and are shown in the figures on the left.
Make sure that the gussets are flush with the edge of the 

extrusion as shown below.
There are four legs, two of each configuration.

Step 2: X-axis Crossmembers

Parts Added

A) Use the anchor fasteners to attach the crossmembers to the 

bottom T-slot of the X-axes. Install the front crossmember flush 

with the end of the axis extrusion first, then install the next two 

spaced 160mm[6.299in] apart to facilitate the installation of the 

T-slot table extrusion.
8020 Inc. has videos on how to use the anchor fastener.

One video can be found at youtu.be/watch?v=y13-J3wtwCQ

Other instructions can be found by searching "8020 anchor 

fastener"
B) Install the V-Con wipers on the concentric bushings on the 

top the two axes. The axes are labeled and should be oriented 

as shown. If oriented improperly, the eccentric bushings will be 

on top instead. The V-Con wipers cannot be installed on the 

eccentric bushing. (See below.)

axis") with the fasteners shown. These should be loose 

enough such that you can slide the gussets back and

Align the riser plates by either pushing them along the axis, 

or by manually turning the top of the ballscrew.
Thread the M8x40mm screws through the X' gusset and 

the spacer block in the orientation shown.
Hold the gantry against the riser plates and position the 

axis so the X' gusset is flush with the end of the extrusion. 

Then, fasten the gussets to the tapped holes on the riser 

and tighten the fasteners from Step 5.
Note: The X' Riser will be about 10mm outboard of the 

bearing block.

shown.  A small hex key or screwdriver simplifies this step.

2)Lay the table extrusion on the crossmembers.

3)Fasten the table extrusion using the flathead screws.

Step 9: Motor Installation

Note: Motor kits are sold separately from the base BenchtopPRO package
Depending on how your order was placed and processed, the oldham coupler may 

be partially or entirely installed on the ballscrew.
These steps will need to be performed for all 4 axes.

Coupler Installation:

If the entire coupler is installed on the ballscrew:

1) Loosen the M4 socket head clamp on the motor half of the oldham coupler.

If the coupler is not installed:

1) If necessary, assemble the coupler by pressing the two metal halfs into the plastic 

middle piece.
2) Loosen the two M4 socket head clamp screws in the oldham coupler.
3) Slide the 10mm half onto the ballscrew end until it presses against the shaft collar, 

and tighten the clamp screw.

If 10mm half alone is installed:

1) Loosen the M4 socket head clamp on the motor half of the oldham coupler.
2) Assemble the coupler by pressing the motor half into the plastic middle piece, 

then pressing the middle piece into the 10mm half. 

Motor Installation:

1) Slide the motor shaft into the motor half of the oldham coupler.
2) Fasten the motor to the motor plate using the supplied fasteners.
3) Tighten the clamp screw on the motor half of the oldham coupler.

Note: Proximity switch kits are sold separately from the base BenchtopPRO package
These steps will need to be performed for the X, X' and Y axes.
A homing switch is not typically used for the z axis, as setting your z axis is dependent 

on the length of tooling installed, which is better accomplished with an Auto Z Touch 

Plate.
1) Thread the sensor through the M12 tapped hole on the motor plate.
2) Thread the two M12 nuts on either side of the sensor to secure the sensor in place.
3) Plug the sensor into your electronics kit and test.

BHCP-M8's.
3) Attach the Cable Track Moving Bracket to the bottom 

of the X'-axis interface plate.
4) Attach the Cable Track Fixed Bracket to the inside of 

the back leg on the opposite side(X-axis) of the machine, 

spaced 1.5in from the bottom of the leg.

Note: It may be easier to route your cables through the 

track prior to attaching the track to the support brackets. 

Instructions for how to operate the cable track can be 

found at: 
Upper Cable Track
1) Thread the M8 Hex Cap Bolt through the hole in the 

open end cable track, then thread the bolt into the Z-axis 

support bracket.
2) Attach the flat end of the cable track to the outermost 

slot on the cable track support tray using the M6 button 

head screws, washers, and nuts.
Lower Cable Track
1)Attach the hole end of the cable track to the moving 

cable track bracket using the M6 button head screws.
2) Attach the pin end of the cable track to thet fixed 

cable track bracket using the M6 button head screws.
