    Re: RF30 square column conversion?

    I also did this with my round column Rf30 mill. The small z travel makes changing tools a pain. I have the bolt hole measurements for the column if you need them.

    That looks great. Sure, I'll take any data you'd be willing to share. Do you have more pictures? Pipe sizing?

    I see you put in a counterweight system. Are you using constant force springs or actual weights inside the column?

    I have the feeling you are not using the stock head on this column. Did you reconfigure it or are you using something else?

    Thanks,
