After some extreme milling adventures with my X3, I've got my

would be dead on).



Keep posting your adventures with the X3. I want a mini CNC mill to run EMC2 on and that
seems like the machine to modify for space reasons.

Live long and make chips

You do know that the KX3 is available in the US? The KX1 is also
available. Little Machine Shop has both. The KX1 column is like the X3,
it is bolted down, no tilting.
