You can add a head stock and tail stock on the blackFoot by designing the table in a way the head and tail stock is positioned at the correct level so the end mill will be at the correct position. The correct position will depend on the end mills that you will be using. The end mill should be centered to the center of the head stock jaw near the lowest z-axis position.

Shop says it costs over 2000USD to ship BlackFoot to Europe, is there a cheaper option?

We currently do not have that application implemented in our design. please suggest this in our R/D section (http://buildyourcnc.com/ResDev.aspx).

The blackfoot requires a total of 50 feet of cable.

The X axis needs 15 feet
The Y axis needs 17 feet
and the Z-axis needs 18 feet

These are 20 gauge 4 conductor cable.

Our machines structures is made from MDO, which is used in the construction industry. Specifically in cement forming, which allows the material to be treated and coated for the specific requirements in the field.
We do recommend painting the structure (everything structure wise besides aluminum) with oil based paints, if you have the machine in a very humid location or location with constant rain. If you do not have the machine in a climate control environment.
Painting the machine will not give it a longer run time or any specific advantages to the over structure or material. Painting it would be more of a personal choice, in making it specifically orientated to your shop or personality.

Our greenLean machine has a vacuum hose mount that comes with the machines specified with standard diameter hoses from wet/dry vacuums available at local hardware stores.

However if specifically speaking of a vacuum table, we do not have that implemented to our design.
