    Table clearance to column at max Y travel

    I'm designing a subplate for my soon to be purchased PCNC1100, and I need a dimension. I may have overlooked it in all the documentation, but could somebody give me a rough dimension of the clearance between the table and the column when the Y axis is at the limit switch?

    Thanks!

    I just ran my 1100 to the negative Y-axis limit switch and the distance from the outermost bellows pleat looks like about 0.25".

    Thank you for that dimension. Looks like I won't be overhanging the back of the table near the column. I'll make a "U" to clear the column/bellows.

    Don,

    If you don't mind, how wide is that bellows?

    The Z-axis bellows are 2" deep and 9.75" wide
