I am setting up my shopbot and I have a 60 x 96 machine. Is there any reason I cannot add about 6" to either end of the table. I am using 60 x 60 Baltic Birch so I have 10' of material to work with. I don't see any reason why it can't be a little longer.

The only limit will be your 120" X rails and the extents the gantry will let you access. I have a 101" usable table on my PRS96Standard so it can be done but you should allow a little room for gantry deceleration when the proximity switches are hit. Alphas are another animal which I am not familiar.

This is my 2 cents worth
