I like Stever's idea.

now i figured out, the bed of the carveking is 1.53" high. if i put that on top of my table, i won't expose enough of my objects. so either i find a way to get rid completely off the bed, or i can't do my vision. Instead of cutting the bed of your carve king and now having a hole in which you cannot fix just in case you decide it isn’t what you want to do with your machine, why don’t you just disassemble the front and back extrusion supports from the bed of the carve king and bolt them to the front and back of your steel table? Just make the table the same size as the base of your carve king. That way no change is permanent. Then you can leave the top of the table wide open, or insert a spoil board on top of the wide open table if you want to mill something smaller. i thought about that but i wasn't sure how to exactly mount this whole thing. the wholes need to be super precision then and i'm not sure if i'm able to do it. i think i have to disassemble it first to figure out how to mount it. maybe derek can give me the exact positions for the screw holes?

so this will be the perfect solution? would use 1.5""x1.5" steel bar with a thickness of 3mm for the top frame and i will try to find 2.25"x1.5" for the vertical ones. @derek: will this be rigid enough? i need to replace some screws to make them longer so they can go through the steel. the top and bottom plate propably 0.2" thick.

needs to be 1.5"x1.5" and 2"x3" steel bars with 1/8" wall thickness, as i can't get my hands on other useful sizes.

Also solves you lack of welder problem.

i'm really not sure if l brackets will be precise enough. i'm a beginner. i remember l brackets with wood, i totally mess up last time should i buy a drill press? i don't see any other possibility to make precise wholes

Take a look at extrusion or perforated steel tube. That’s an easier solution if you don’t have a welder or a drill press.
