    Has anyone built a CNC stage to bolt to a knee Mill Table

    I have a nice size shop and like to think I have more sense than money. I have a nice south bend knee mill I use for everything. I also built a CNC plasma table a couple years back and don't know that I could live with out it now. I would love to have the capabilty I making 3d sheetmetal dies via CNC so I was tossing the thought of making a CNC stage that I could bolt to my knee mill when I needed to. has anyone done this? I would love to get thoughts, pictures info.

    I've been thinking about this quite a bit since you mentioned it and I think I might try to build one. Seems like a great way to keep a good bridgeport both manual and cnc when you need it. Am going heavy duty if I can.

    BTW if you want a big one take a look at this one. Looks awesome.
