Abstract
Modular machine tools, modular machine-tool beds, and systems for assembling the same are disclosed. Some machine tools and beds may be configured selectively between a cantilever configuration and a gantry configuration. Some modular beds may be assembled selectively to have a desired longitudinal length. The modular nature of the machine tools and modular beds allows users to configure a machine tool in multiple configurations depending on a particular work piece needing to be worked.
