Hello -

I'm in the process of acquiring a VM16, and I'm planning on putting it in my heated garage.

It's barely going to fit in the door width wise, so it's going to be tricky to get in place.

The height is the problem - according to the spec page, it needs 114" of clear height to operate. That's no problem inside the garage. Moving through the door is another story.

Does anyone know how "short" the machine can become when the spindle is lowered all the way to a block on the table?

From the look of things, the main item sticking up when the spindle is all the way down is the Z servo itself. Has anyone ever removed this to lower the height of the machine for moving?




Thanks for any info,

Erik
