talk to the people that run the site. they are the ones limiting the size of images. only site that I know of that shrinks picture attachments to un-viewable sizes.

Funny that two of us managed to put full sized pictures up. I think this is another case of "Matt is wrong".

*Just yankin' yer chain. I know this forum is a pain with attachments.

As much of a pain in the A$$ it is Matthew D. Hoedeman . If you bring any picture up in paint and reduce the size of it around this size in the picture. then upload it on here. Choose large or fullsize works everytime

Without saying anything about the image size, what do you guy think about the accuracy of the cmm with such a load on the granite ?

It totally depends upon the CMM itself. The Validator is a BEAST and I wouldn't have any issue with that load on it as long as the table was properly supported. The install techs today can be sloppy about it and on a couple of occasions that I'm aware of, have only used three jack screws to level the table but didn't then raise the others up to the table hand tight for 6 point support. I would be a bit concerned if that were the case, but as I said, some CMMs are constructed with heavy loads in mind. Some I've run actually have a load limit sticker on them and to be honest most will hold more weight than you or I would guess. I'm rambling.

As long as the MAX table weight isn't exceeded and the table is properly supported, I would have no concerns whatsoever.

I chose FULL SIZE, on a 1600x1200 image. That is what it made it.
