X7 Here and in Position

You won't miss that 4th axis, will you? :-)

PS. it doesn't happen to take 30/60degree BT30 pull studs does it?
I may know some idiot who just ordered 20 of them without checking they were the correct ones for their own machine

Hmm, I kinda might, especially as it's permanently wired, I think I'd spot the ragged end of the cables! ;-)
The plan is to hang it from a hoist above the machine whilst machining arrays of parts when it's not in use.

Sadly not, it's the 45 degree.

This is a view in through the left side door -

I wouldn't be that crude, I'd tape the wires up for you. :-)

It does look like a good machine, and probably about the ideal size I'd like for some light production work, but my Triac ticks the boxes I need for now.
If I'm ever down your way, I might have to visit and see how it is in the flesh.

Looks really good, cant waiting to see it running !

I did think about making the 4th detachable but the hoist is simpler and relatively risk free.
You're most welcome to call in for a tour if you're ever passing.
These are some pics George shared of the X7 castings at the factory -

Me neither, but it's been agreed that I'm tiling the shower and fitting a new enclosure this weekend :D

Always the way, the things we do for love ;-)
