Already done that at the beginning of the year. Added another 5m by 5m so now Ive got 14m by 5m. I've pretty much got everything I want now. I got rid of my pillar drill and overhead router a while back to make way for the LQ which can do both their tasks and more. The rule now is 1 in 1 out. Or extend again

That's quite beast Mark!
That body casting looks more rigid than many milling machines let alone a drill.
Seems strange to see a foot pedal operation. Unless the operator is seated, we have far less sensitivity of control in our feet compared to hands.
Looking forward to seeing this develop.

It has a big compound table so quite a versatile machine. It has a morse 4 taper and can accept router bits, French spindles, spindle tooling, boring and milling cutters. This one has the bigger 5hp motor with speeds from 2 to 6k. I plan on having a vfd to make it even more useful.

Why am I reminded of this?
Are you sure it's safe to use the CO when you're blinded by the glare?

I think the CO is bordering on what is good taste and what is clown'sh
I did have a scary moment when I realised their wasn't enough chain to get the machine upright and I had to prop it up whilst a re rigged the block and tackle

Nice.
Looks like it might benefit from two things: A laser marking the cut point, and a set of folding tables to support longer pieces.
I found that the under table on-off switch on my big RAS was so inconvenient and possibly dangerous that I replaced it with a pushbutton station on the handle.
