I've got a question that I cant seem to find answer in the forum...

I ordered a spindle moulder, a TI145EP from SCM and it was delivered around mid May. here are some photos of the spindle moulder

I have been busy with other works and havnt had proper play with it, until recently I tried to get familiar with my spindle moulder and I found the spindle can only travel up and down 70mm, or 2.75 inches. I was a bit surprised, when I contacted SCM I am told this is a move to be safer as stacking multiple cutter block on the spindle is not safe practice.

is this the new normal? I am used to old style spindle moulder where the entire spindle can travel up and down say 5-6 inches, from picture below you can see the micro switch that limits the movement is 70mm/2.75 inches.
