Open up the casting? You mean the top slot in the base? If that is what you mean, no I did my best to imitate a complete noob with a 4.5" angle grinder and cutting wheel. It is really ugly, but it's functional and I didn't loose any fingers or anything. The instructions said to open up the front hole so that the screw and nut can be inserted from the front. But once you screw on the ball screw nose and red loctite it per the instructions you can't remove it that way. So I made a notch in the bottom of that square hole in the back of the mill using a half round file and angled the screw assy into the base from the top. Didn't have to use the round hole cutter thingie. Need one?
