I understand that the new 12" has some more reach but i don't know for sure. I thought of the what if's involved for the 10" and come up with two major points. One is you would have to take the load off of the gib such as I did. Second, Is you would need to take machine apart to design it and then put it back together to produce parts, Hense it would be better suited for a team effort of sorts ! One to breakdown and design and others to machine and ship. Personally I talked myself out of doing it for myself as my reach is well useable. And I'd prefer getting more use out of table length than anything else. But then again the table travel is suficient for most jobs. I understand your just north of me in washington right ? I suppose we could work something out if there were a call for such an item then ! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
