It's pretty difficult to quantify - you can probably put a lot of weight on a Triac table, however, it will just stall the stepper motors when you try to move it.
Then, if they did move the weight, they might still stall when taking a cut, due to the extra load.

Also they've had the hydrahlic vice option, i'll weigh that for you as well if you need it.

i'll dig them out in the morning and weigh them. The hydrahlic vice is from a servo machine.
