In this video, Chris shows off how you can mount your CNC vertically with his stand-alone stand design as well as what sort of performance the LongMill will bring in this orientation. He also reflects on the things to watch out for if you are considering a vertical CNC setup.
The stand design shown in this video can be found here for download (includes both 3D models and a part drawing): https://cad.onshape.com/documents/93f1492b1e7aa915206aafba/w/15288ce8ddb3cb13e39bef33/e/cd14ab65cf5c9b19f676f0da
