Does anybody make one, if not, has anybody designed one? If designed can you share the drawings? I am looking to increase the vertical capacity by about 6". the problem is that you loose about that much between the chuck and the vise. thanks

If Grizzly doesn't offer one I wouldn't know where you can buy it. But I do remember reading in one of the machinists magazines where one was fabricated from a piece of appropriately sized heavy wall pipe/tubing and a couple of pipe flanges. I know this doesn't give you any details but hopefully it gives you an idea on a solution to your question.

Ok try this again lol Go to yahoo 6x26 group they have photos and measurements to build one.
 
I built one for my 14" band saw. I used 4" square steel pipe and I think that it was about 3/8" wall thickness. I used 5/8" steel plate for the end caps. The band saw only uses one 3/4" bolt to sandwich it all together but it holds with no problem for a saw. I used a long section of "all-thread". I would think that I would use a 4-bolt pattern for a mill.
