I did my very early Unimat SL (mark 1) with the ability to convert back to original with nothing changed, except for the dust and old dried up grease. The conversion back would take a matter of a few minutes, max. My Emco Compact-8 will have the same philosophy - I love these lathes and have 2 of them - the CNC conversion will be bolt-on, cross fingers. (the Compact 8 CNC lathe is a project for this coming winter, as this summer is copper boiler making, outdoors, so when it's not nice with -40c and drifting snow, I'll be inside making parts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
