    Need some opinions, are these to big/heavy to mount on a roller cart/tool bx and use them safely. They will stay manual machines. Space is tight here and making them mobile would be great

    worth the trip to pick them up. saved 100 bucks alone on the price of the machines and several hundred in shipping. 3 hours total up, load and back. time to tear down, clean, assemble and tram.
    looks like the the money I saved will get me a dro and scales for the X3

    grizzly has it on sale from Monday until sometime in September for $950.00
    I didnt have the time i really wanted to spend up there so it looks like a trip is in order this week after i get things cleaned up. tooling , vise and some collets are in order. Looking at Shars dro, but for the money looks like a shumatech kit may be the way to go
