Subject: Sherline Mill -- Will it work on small areas of large objects

Is it possible to work on small areas of larger objects (like
a shotgun) with the Sherline?  I.e., the travel in each dimension will 
be small once the work is clamped to the bed, but the work itself is a
couple feet long.

maybe. if you want to work on the center of the long item it might work. but 
if you intend to clamp a rifle to the table with 3 or 4 feet hanging off the 
end - no way.

its a simple matter of ridgity.

I would tend to say yes as long as there is clearance for the long
workpiece. My  only concern would be the weight.
