I'm sharing these pictures if for no other reason than to show the procedure I used raise a customers 'Z' axis height on a Haas gantry mill to allow for the use of a Gerardi angle head.
Haas offers these riser blocks in different configurations, but to my knowledge, not for this older machine, and they will only fit the blocks when a machine is being assembled at the factory.
These risers were made from 3" x 4" 1018 CR bar stock, sawn to length, welded and stress relieved, then surface ground. The little trap door was to allow all the wiring to pass through to the middle of the riser block.
This retrofit raised the 'Z' height by 4".
