Hi Abby

Bargepole springs to mind... If you intend purchasing a mill for CNC
conversion, a square column is essential - The quill travel is limited, and
you'd be raising/lowering the head frequently.
I would suggest you look at the X3 from Arc Euro Trade ( tel: 0116 269
5693), or the X2.

Regards, Paul.
