Hey Pony,

I imagined that you simply work away from the front edge then 🙂

I always try to post the links to dust boot overhang with my links to [table dimensions](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/cable-and-vac-management-to-start-off/18753/14) and to [space to reserve around the machine](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/size-of-physical-table-actually-needed/18864/3) when someone asks for tabletop dimensions. It’s easy to not think of dust boot overhang!

Very impressing! If you clicked on the links to enclosure in my quoted older posting above, you know that I like enclosures like this.

But I think I want access from the rear too, like on [this one here](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/the-table-basic/3787/10)

You know you can mount the Y rails in the other direction, with the stepper motors pointing forward? This way you could mount the machine a motor’s length more towards the back.
