Hi guys,
I am new into machining. I recently bought a set of used X2 mini mill with CNC (kit from fusionCNC I believe) to start. For what I make the y-travel is very limited (short of 4''). I searched online for the ways to increase the y-travel and accidentally found this mill base: Base - LittleMachineShop.com
I wonder if the dovetails have the same width of the old base and I could just mount my XY table on it. The y-travel would be increased to about 5''.
From the pictures here (Yuriy's Toys: Large Table Assembly for X2 Mini Mill) they do look very close. But a little difference in dovetails may cause the mod to fail....
Could anyone advise me if I could use the base? Thanks a lot!
