Yunno I never ended up testing it 😅

Pretty shortly after this I got the OM2a, and then moved shops so it got partially disassembled and stored under a table. And just never got back to it / never had a need for it.

It about tripled the weight, so probably would have helped!

Yep! It's gravel/sand mixed with epoxy (and some urethane because I ran out of epoxy). Added a ton of mass to the CNC frame for better cutting/vibration damping.

Who could have foreseen this?!

If only there had been some kind of temporary appropriation - let's call it a continuing resolution - that could have been used as a wedge. 🤔

Should probably call your senator Chuck to chat with them about this unfortunate circumstance!

Possibly! Might interfere with the bond to the glass though, since the "susceptor" layer would be in between the metal and glass 😕
