Big Table with Power Feed for Sieg X3 Mill

Date: 2021-06-06

I was long overdue to pimp out my 16 year old Sieg X3 mill - one of the first to be imported to the US.  First I replaced the original 17 1/2 inch table with Sieg's 27 1/2 inch Long Table Kit.  Then I added the Sieg power feed.

This video shows the process, especially for fitting the new table.  It  focuses on what I would like to have known when I started. 

I used SX3 parts throughout, largely because they are readily available through vendors like Little Machine Shop and Grizzly. Also, while most parts are interchangeable across the X3 and SX3 mills (and their various revisions), there is greater version compatibility within the SX3 parts.

The Sieg kits are excellent. Sourcing:

  * Long Table Kit, Super X3L (Part #3845, Little Machine Shop, $254.93)
  * Power Feed, X3 & SX3 Mills (Part #5114, Little Machine Shop, $431.64)
  
A shoutout to Joe at Little Machine Shop for patiently answering some of my questions...
