height of V2XT

He says height is 104"

I am not surprised, my Interact is about as tall.

...

It may be a bit lower, the 104 inches listed above included a power drawbar.

If it is like my Interact, it would be a great retrofit project. And Jon can save a lot on shipping if he uses a Pico systems control box!

GROAN! That's even WORSE! 92" would require me to cut a small hole in the ceiling, which COULD be done. But, if it is really 104", that would come up inside the kitchen - which isn't going to fly.

But, the machine in question seems to not have the power drawbar.

Thanks for the info!

Jon

Oh ... how about a little bump-out addition to the cellar? With a bulk-head style cover/door that you could lower the mill through.

Well, I let it go to another person. It got bid up to $33xx, which was a bit steep for a machine that had been tipped over from an unknown height and may have broken more stuff than was reported.

Hated to have to do that, but I just couldn't bid that kind of money without seeing it in person.

I am limited to 7" Y travel on my CNC retrofit of an old round-ram mill with the short knee. I managed to get a knee and saddle off a BOSS, but just can't seem to find time to have my mill down while I re-convert it.

Jon

Thanks, but I already have a retrofitted manual Bridgeport. It works well, other than the limited Y travel and a bit more backlash than I'd like. I have many of the parts to swap out the knee and saddle, but am still missing a couple pieces. Anyway, if Missisippi is a long way to haul it to St. Louis, California is a LOT farther.

Dang. Something tells me, a Mazda B2500 isn't going to be up to towing that home. And I've no where to put it until ... September? October?

Thanks, but I have a monster amount of work to do around the two homesteads in the next 194 days. Pour Slab, build tool shed, pack, move, haul to good will or dump what doesn't move, paint, fix, repair, ... oh and execute the Nuptials.

Oh My Buddha! Pete, I'm sorry. I hadn't heard about your condemnation. Oh, wait, did you mean "kill" or "perform" when you said "execute the nuptials"?

I did, they didn't.

And yours too.

B-)

Perform.

As I said in one announcement "If I had said I would die a bachelor, obviously I never thought that I would live until I were wed."

There's a women's monetary near Goldendale ...

I must have missed it. ;)

Monetary? Does that make them golddiggers?

Argggghhh - darn spell checkers with small fonts.

That's suppose to be "Monastery"

Still not too late for the Generic Omniscience Deity to have mercy, though.

Have the little woman schedule an optometric visit for you soon.
