Re: Wall-mounting a Gunnar CMC
I would not recommend it from an engineering viewpoint as it is a precision machine. The slightest twist in the bed of the machine might damage the machine while it is operating.
It is feasible; however, the bracing of the machine, to have a square platform each time it is placed into operating position, might be tricky for such a piece of heavy equipment. The machine might definitely have to be recalibrated for flatness and squareness for proper operation each time it moved.
Permanent mounting is however a definite posibility; however, there might be some "fall out" issues unless it is mounted at an angle in the 60-80° range.

To make use of all available space, I flipped the stand around so that the metal logo bar was facing the back, allowing me to utilise all of the space underneath for mountboard storage.
I'm sure Sarah from Gunnar UK would be able to give you a definitive yes or no about this.
