Rebuilt & retfofitted a Heid CNC version at my last employment, with the sliding bed as a positionable "W" axis. The customer didn't use the feature to acccomodate differing length parts, but to give the operator more room to load & unload the part. Nigel B PS. The old Stanley works was on the hillside overlooking Halifax, near Shibden Hall - long demolished & now houses. The name lives on as Broadbent Stanley, though the machines are all imports now.. They also own the Parkson name Edited By mgnbuk on 02/12/2019 19:48:45

There was another even bigger one that had a double-rail bed so that the saddle could pass the tailstock, but I never got a go on that one.
