First of all, 3D, beautiful work on those tool holders ! Now, Oz's question about extending the X travel has brought up new questions from me. I can see where adding a 2" block to each end of the table will increase the table size by 4" (duh!), but, wouldn't you need a longer lead screw to increase travel? Also, the 727M has 15 " of X travel, does that mean that I can machine a feature (say a slot) into a work piece the full 15" without re-setting the piece? And, lastly, even if for whatever reasons (that I hope someone will explain), this slot can only be 10" with a 15" X travel machine, then wouldn't it be easier for the few times that this might come up (for me anyway), to cut the slot as long as the travel allows, then re-position the piece and continue the slot? What am I missing? Thanks again, JR49
