ok a few other critic of the design, well actualy one wich would help the design in two way
as it is now 1/3 of the Y axis travel is outside the table of the mill on the positive side of the y travel while you cannot reach while you cannot reach the bottom third of the why table with the tool because the table does not go that far in its y travel thus having to put almost half the width of you part if you want to use the full y travel out of the table now there is a almost easy solution to this make the axis sadle longer and the x table wider since there is almost 4" of space in the back of the table this would not require a change in the mill structure itself as the space is there and would make the product benefit in two way 1- more of the saddle dovetail would be engage at all time reducing vibration and flex in the machine for more precision 2- widen the table by ~2" making the table go from 21 5/8" x 6 1/4" to 21 5/8" x 8 1/4" thus a gain of ~43 square inchs of table surface and the y dovetail engaged inside the dovetail of the base by 5" instead of 3" when fully extended in its y travel and make it use the full 8" of its capable travel instead of its current 6". i know all this is probably due to the fact that the machine is still using the superX3 table and saddle but i think it could be worth it.
