Maybe the pic is deceiving me but that column looks to be on the hollow side. So the question is is that column actually solid all the way through?

Looking at that pic actually stirs my imagination as that column could come in very handy for a number of projects that float around in the back of my mind.

I ended up making the X1 mill with the long X and Y for both of us. I plan on using the new and old parts to make a new, to me, X2 cnc mill. If I can get it together, I post the progress. Tex in VA
