Hi guys, this is my first post on the forum. I am putting one of the techtop single phase motors onto my 260, but have discovered that the drive frame casting prevents it from fitting into place. I've seen some mentions on other threads about modifying the casting to take a larger motor but am nervous to go for it without getting some advice first. Can anyone please tell me whether cutting into the casting to create space for the motor is a good or bad idea? The photo is to show what I would be cutting away, in case I haven't done a very good job of explaining. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
