Making Altmill Easily Moveable?

[JimmyBuckets]

Hey Folks,

I have been looking at Altmill for a while but have a tiny work area. 2x4 would be the ideal size, but still think without being able to easily move it around it would be a no go. I have an order in for a G2 Onefinity Journeyman with the folding table mostly because it can be stored upright and folded and rolled easily. Is there anything that could be done to the Altmill that would give similar flexibility? I think Altmill is my first choice but I don’t think I can have a stationary machine. Any suggestions?

Hey Jimmy,

There is a topic on table setups. It’s an older topic, so mainly for longmill machines, but these can work for Altmill too. I’ve seen topic of people mounting Altmills on custom tables. If that can be done, a fliptable Altmill can be done too.

What are your plans for a table?

I ended up making the Fisher rotating table but I modified it a bit. For one I didn’t like the idea of having the power inside the table. Two I squared up the right side of the table ends. The plans want you to cut it in a triangle shape but I made it square. Also I made the legs as the plan said but later changed the plan. I used oak dow to make pins to hold the table in it’s position. And finally I added a harbor freight dust collector to the right side. Still waiting for my 4inch hose and red…

Good luck on making the altmill fit into your space. It will still be a beast.

If you get it done, please come back and share. Not seen a flip altmill yet.

Thank you for the input….it seems I might have to pass on the Altmill, I just don’t have the time to “make something work” when I can hit the ground running with another machine. Sad, but such is life. Hopefully the Onefinity can a good machine for me, even if I know performance wise the Altmill is probably superior.
