ThunderBolt Desktop Machine 3rd Party Stand and Base Options
Preface: This article covers some suggested stand options for the BOLT Desktop Laser. These stands are not applicable for the Bolt Plus 24 or larger machines.
Thunderbolt
30w Desktop Laser with RF that does not come with a base.
Thunderbolt V1 Housing Dimensions
WxDxH: 925mm x 690mm x 460mm (36.5"x27"x18")
Weight: 77kg , ~170lb
Feet Spacing: centers 835mm x 560mm (32.9" x 22") with ~50mm (2") diameter feet. Feet may add ~20mm (.8") to Height. Feet use a m6x1.0mm flat head bolt to attach to the machine base.
Thunderbolt V2 Housing Dimensions
The V2 of the Bolt has a slightly larger housing to be able to fit larger tubes
Feet Spacing: Outer dimensions shown, subtract 50mm for the center to center distance.
Potential Stand Options
Considerations
Adjustable stand height
Planned height of top of Lid of Thunderbolt to match Odin 22 (Approx 42" to lid on Odin 22 which means the Bolt stand table height should be around 24-30")
Planned height in comparison to some of the Nova 24 Stand Options (Approx 53" to top of Nova 24 with a 27" table would put the Thunderbolt Stand height at 35" since the Bolt is 200mm shorter)
Storage
