    Taig mill bottom base mounting bolt hole spacing pattern

    Does anyone know what the spacing is for the mounting bolts on the bottom of a Taig mill?

    I searched Google and cnczone.com with every term I could come up with to find this for myself but haven't had any luck. I also tried to measure it myself, but I don't really know how to take these kinds of measurements accurately.

    Here's the best I could get by measuring by hand...

    I would just email Taig themselves or Nick Carter.

    I'm sure one of them will help-

    That sounds like a good idea, thanks. I sent an e-mail to Nick.

    I'll fix the image above when I get the correct measurements...

    I called Taig. It looks like there isn't specific spacing for the holes on the bottom, each mill may be different.

    I also e-mailed Nick, here's part of his reply...
    What I do is drill for the middle front bolt, and bolt the mill to the base, then use a transfer punch/sharpie to mark the two other holes, then remove the mill and drill for them.
