Anyone have any suggestions for a gas strut that has a longer travel than 12"? This picutre that Bob posted looks like a really nice solution (compared with free weight) but limiting counterbalanced travel to 12" is the not great especially when yo consider 4-5" of that travel is taken up if using a vise or rotary table but still want to be able to come down to the table to use fixtures. I assume that a person could simply tie two struts together end to end. I would guess the two 150lbs struts together is still a 150lbs but just twice as long. |
