    Question 6040 CNC mill on stand with wheels

    Hi,

    I am lucky to have a 6040 mill from CarvingCNC. I am not so lucky to have limited space in my workshop and would like to have certain flexibility by putting the mill on self-made stand, foundation of which is a rather robust (rated for over 1000 pounds) wheeled workshop transport cart.

    Anyone done that? Will (greatly) reduced stability of the stand cause serious issues with the mill performance?

    Thanks

    Stand

    I decided that I might want to occasionally move my mc, so put wheels on it, but also have adjustable feet which I use to lift the wheels of the ground when in use.
