Eric, I have one machine with 10" clearence and 12" z stroke, it's an old Motion Master I rebuilt last year, and I have one table with 14 " clearence and a 7" stroke , but I have the z mounted on a dovetail slide so I can move it up or down as needed. this is my 4 axis machine i use it for roughing scrolls and necks as well as trimming Bass Buggie bodies .
Ken, the noise isn't so much a problem at dinner as the table moving, suddenly your dinner is in front of someone else!
