Score!
I got this XYZ cross slide table off an old engraver we used to use at StampWorks. This is a very very accurate and tight table. Very very heavy duty aswell. That table alone weighs 80lbs! Thats over twice as much as my entire CNC mill. These tables were used for extreamly accurate and detailed engraving aswell as heavy duty milling into heavy metal. It is a sweet table. The entire engraver is worth $6,000 new.
I am going to use the parts from my little Sherline Mill and try to convert it all to use that table for the X and Y axis. It does have a Z axis like a knee mill (table rises as oposed to the spindle dropping) but I don't plan on using it as of now. I am going to beef up the back end of the Sherline and figure out how to make it all work with this table. I don't think it will be all that difficult, just lots of work squaring things up.
