larger table for sx3?

[duchamp]

does anyone make a larger table that can be fitted to the x3 sx3? it would be really nice to have a 9" x 30" table.

I've also made posts wondering why no one yet seems to have made a x-travel kit for the X3.

[There seems to be a large gap between the X3 and the next larger sized mills. It seems that something just a little larger--weighs a half a ton.]

i wonder if the rong fu 25-45 tables could be heavily modified to fit...

Since the RF-45 clones are only about $300 more then a SX3, just ebay the SX3 and buy a RF-45 clone.

Putting a bigger table on the X3/SX3 would probably be a bad idea, since the y-axis dovetails are not really wide enough to support a larger heavier table. I think you would be very disappointed in the resulting stability and stiffness.

probably true, but i like the sx3's 110 and small overall size, just think (know actually) that 8 or so inches more travel would be very useful. not for heavier milling, but longer work.
