You also might find it cheaper just to build a platform to the exact height you need and put the machine and cart on it.

As I recall, others who removed them for similar reasons to yours found the machine didn't work as well. I think it had something to do with the inflexible hard cabinet as opposed to the flexible Amaya cart.

Use whatever dimensional lumber you want to creat the height, and build it like you were making a floor. Use 3/4" material for the top. Work with 16" centers and you will have all the support you need. Then leave the machines on their carts. My 2 cents.
