Modig 9”x24”milling machine, $5000, Ardrossan, AB

I'm not familiar with that make/model....it looks like a very nice sturdy machine but it is still a round column? Made in Sweden, no doubt good quality.

Does the column drop into the base?

It must eh? There is a column lock on it that looks unmoveable.
Im guessing that handwheel at the back top is how you move the head down but it sure looks like in an awkward place. Maybe it has tremendous quill travel?
 
Found this.
I kinda see a key at the base of the column but I wish they had run the column up/down.
They did make a square column machine which looks like the basis for the RF45.
