    Hi, been searching but cannot find this infos anywhere. What would be the practical limit of weight that the manual RF45 style mill tables can handle?

    If the load stays centred, probably about 200kg, if the load travels to X axis extremity, i'd say 100kg because you are then applying a bending load on the table.
    Bent tables are not good.

    Hi DL,

    Thank you kind Sir. I was looking to load to between 150 and 200Kg on the table. Since its a long bed (1000mm) I will keep the lengths to 500mm centered on the table if it weights more than about 100Kg.
