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.

YEEEEEHAAAAAWWW!!!!!!
yes it does beat holding the motor chris but you had two hands free, you could have held on to the Y stepper and had some of that 3 axis Action :)
