Would someone be willing to show a picture of how much chain is left at the opposite end of the motor when the sled is at the extreme bottom corners? With the picture, your **distance between motors and height of your top beam from your work surface** would be important to know. I’m curious if there is still a foot or two of chain left (allowing some slight frame variance and modification) or if there is just about no chain left. I guess a picture isn’t required…they are just so nice. 🙂

there is not a lot of chain left, people who build slightly wider frames need to  
buy more chain.

I was hoping to quantify or visually see how much chain is left.
