Hey Bill, > [@Machinist](#): > > I loved that machine! However, concerns of how much room I’d end up with after our move as well as justification for the space it would require didn’t add up, so I sold it before the move with the assumption I would replace it at some point if after the move if I could justify it. In my current shop (shed), I really don’t have room to absorb it, nor do I really have much interest in machining steel. For the rare occasions when I need to machine steel, I can make do with the Onefinity. Case in point is when I modified my controller housing (steel box). I was able to cut the front controller cutout larger to accommodate the 8" monitor which was larger than my previous DDCS controller. By coincidence, while searching for something else in the depths of the forum I found that you [have shown the machine here](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/size-for-machinist-table/888/46)! It was in the thread where you showed how you built your [base with steel top for your Onefinity Machinist](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/size-for-machinist-table/888/7) in December 2020. Really a nice machine! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/cutting-thin-gauge-steel/14206)._
