    Grizzly G0704 - Power Feed

    I have just received my G0704 and I want to use the machine manually during a learning/practicing period before starting a CNC conversion. My first projects include installation of low cost DRO's and a x-axis power feed. I think the power feed supplied by Grizzly looks very bulky in comparison to the hang down type Servo-type power feeds for Bridgeport and similar. I would like to get advise from anyone who has successfully adapted such a power feed for the G0704.

    Are you willing to give up several inches of X travel with that type hanging down where it will hit the stand?

    I have the grizzly power feed on my G0704 it extins the table on the left side. as Hoss said a bridge port style would limit your travel.
