Removing Column form SX2.7
| Ian L | 31/05/2021 13:08:22 |
| 6 forum posts | I am trying to move my SX2.7 milling machine and need to remove the column. I have removed the 4 bolts and it looks like it will separate when moving the column forward, but when trying to lift the column it won’t separate from base. Can someone who has done this before offer advice. Thanks. Ian |

| 6 forum posts | Thank you Jason & Ron. I was wondering if the pins would need removing but had seen a photo on the internet with the pins in the base. |
