I figure the addition of the stand pretty much covers the $200 difference. However, the X axis power feed is $275. Resold new on FleaBay, that's another $200 off so now I'm $200 less than the G0519 but also now have a column power feed which I'm thinking is not the same as a Z axis power feed so I would not need to remove it to CNC the machine? Thats probably another couple of hundred in value I'm guessing and it seems like a nice feature if you're going to be cranking much. It's also got a 1.5hp single phase rather than 220 3-phase motor which could save quite a lot more money for anyone without 3-phase power. Still seems like a pretty good deal to me.
Now that I'm aware that it is a 45 Series, can anyone advise if there are some good value, existing CNC conversion kits made specifically for these machines and make any recommendations? Are they simple to install?
Thanks much,
Gerry
