Just an FYI after doing a mockup on the Grizzly G0704 Mill with aluminum strips the Scale Sizes Required.

Z Axis 1, 520MM Scale Over all Scale Length 26.1
X Axis 1, 470MM Scale Over all Scale Length 24.1 (if you want to do a front install you can use a 470MM Scale) Rear install has a drain plug so no larger then 470MM
Y Axis 1, 170MM Scale Over all Scale Length 12.3 I am thinking i should have got a 22mm for this axis!
