I presently have a working EMC CNC mill and lathe, so for my situation, that is not a problem. For me retrofitting was easily the way to go because I could do all the work. Now if I had a pile of money to invest, I suppose buying a new machine, making loan payments and using tax write-off's would be better as a whole. > Another ides, I want to buy small 12 by 12 inches frame of bridge type > machine to install my motor on.

Do you want to be able to manufacture or market inexpensive CNC machines? Do you want to buy a CNC machine for yourself, or have someone make a custom machine or parts? I agree that there seems to be increasing interest all types of CNC machinery. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
