Yup I got holes drilled last night to mount the mill. The mill is about 750# according to the dope sheet. The stand has 8 leveling pads/on it too so it shouldnt go anywhere. I built the crane high which by rights should only be a few inches higher than the machine. I kind of built the crane to be able to lift the machine on/off the stand should I need to at some point with out-riggers to stabilize things . I'm actually in a wheelchair and thats the reason the stand is so low. That way the table and quill will be usable for me without having to stand up on my one leg which gets tiresome. And the crane will help the wife actually by her not having to help me move vices and rotary tables and heavy parts. At least thats how I pitched it to her! HA!
