They've done away with the tilting column idea, good move makes for a more rigid machine... :thumbup:

But retained the poxy spring mechanism to stop the head falling down... :doh:

What happened to the gas damper strut mod?

According to the factory, there is/was a patent issue with the gas strut. One of our competitors offer it, but neither the factory or I know how they have dealt with the patent issue. As it is not in SIEG's name, it is not their problem!

Wait, Ketan from Arc?

How do I get one of those new columns Shipped to the US)? Not interested in the whole machine as I am building a CNC center and am too far in...

It won't fit the X2 as it is made to fit the SX1 base. If you want one to fit the original X2, ask Chris at LMS. He might have a solution in a few months time.

It did not work out well in our experiment, as well as in the factories experiment. LMS may have a solution for the original X2 owners in a few months time.
