If you stop and think about it, the need for quill travel is a function of
the length of available bits.

Since most bits are in the 6"-8" max length, would expect quill travel to
be pretty much the same from model to model.



Actually the quill travel on mine is 3.125" I am looking at almost 5"
possibly 6" for a replacement. Long quill travel means less table
adjustment for me.
