    Weird Seemingly useless part on CNC Taig Mill, Can I remove this? (pic)

    Hello ,

    Can someone tell me if I can remove the part shown below in the picture? I unscrewed the bolt perpendicular to it, but it still seems very snug in there. I want to mount some linear encoders on the x-axis table, but this obviously foils my plans. Am I not pulling hard enough? Is it a press-fit or something?

    If it's function is important, can I mill it down to clear the area where I want to mount the rails?

    Thanks very much all,

    Steve
