    Solidworks models of the X2?

    Does anyone have any SolidWorks models of the X2 mini-mills? Preferably the harbor freight variant? Id like to design my own mounts for the CNC conversion and would like to not have to reinvent the wheel for the base machine. Thanks.

    Do yourself a favor and take the measurements yourself. Hole positions and bolt patterns vary a lot from machine to machine.

    I unfortunately do not have the machine yet, and am trying to complete my conceptual design so I can complete my parts list, prior to purchasing the first part.

    EDIT: I realize they vary greatly from machine to machine, even ones from the same distributor. Just looking for a way to complete my conceptual design.

    The grizzley yahoo group has a 3D DXF in their files which solidworks can import as a multi-body solid.

    You need to make modifications to the model obviously, these vary a lot.
