John,
Someone posted that when the X-axis gantry is all the way to the front, the centerline of the spindle/router was 1.5" behind (inboard of) the feet on the Y-axis. I don’t have my machine yet, so I can not verify.
I am also working on a table design that will allow vertical workpieces. I designed a C-shape cutout on the front of the table that is about 4" back from the front of the 1F feet. This will allow a 2" thick workpiece to be clamped to the front and allow the spindle to mill both sides. I also plan to have T-track on the front to provide clamping.
It is still a concept, but that are my current thoughts.
