Interesting point, that is probably what is was intended for, but when we got it whatever was mounted where a spindle was was mounted facing the floor in that pic, making us think x-y.

In this configuration it would have very limited Y travel when compared to X, but that is not an issue for us. We really only need 8" or so of Y.
