Title: Sieg X2 Mill: Carriage Stops
Post by: Will_D on March 14, 2016, 06:34:41 PM

Hi All,

Am very happy with my X2 mill and its DRO.

However, having just spent ages milling out 13 x 13mm slots for some tool holders I would really like some form of simple carriage end stops.

Has anyone fitted some to the X2 mills?
