That looks about as far as my milling machine will go. That's probably your maximum travel?
Unless there's something in that T slot on the front of the bed getting in the way...I had that happen.

Oh wait. I might have misunderstood you. Are you trying to get the bed off completely? If so I'm not sure, mine just came off when I removed all the relevant bolts. I was going to scrape it...
yeh just want to take it off but can't see whats stopping it.
remove the gib strip so you can lift the table a bit and slide it over the X axis nut.
thanks mate :)
only got the z axis working at the min but it helps a lot
