Well looking at the pictures that seems to have gone very well.
On the 2000 mill I picked up used last year, also had issues with how long it was front to back. Wound up cutting the ram arms a few inches shorter to fit on the bench. Also got the rigid riser block, the normal riser column block kept slipping and rotating when milling.
Looks nice so far - what kind of amatures / magnet are going inside ?Per
