Howdy,
One of our local Tormach owners talks about a 3 point system for mounting machine tools, and I have come to trust his experience and knowledge. For a bench top milling machine this would be to put a thick plate under the base in the front attached to the front two bolt holes and have it pivot/mount to the base in the middle of this plate. Then normal mounts in the rear.
My questions are these: Is this a well known technique? Would this mounting method aid in a Tormach's accuracy. How many have you done this?
Thank you for your answers.
