I've had my X3 for about a year now am I'm about to embark on a conversion myself. My issue is that I don't have alot of time to make the parts myself and getting the missus to part with the cash for the cncfusion kit is like pulling teeth...your own teeth. Is there another outlet for the items needed to make the conversion or are my choices limited to cncfusion or make it yourself? I would prefer to buy the ballscrews premade and make the rest myself. Buying a lathe is definately in the plans, but not for a while so for now I would have to pay someone to turn them down for me. I like the cncfusion delux kit but it's a bit expensive for me right now, and I never think that buying the cheaper kit and upgrading later is a good idea. Wow this is frustrating.
Now that I think about it maybe if someone out there would like to do some trading of services, I have a small powder coating/ceramic coating shop, I could do some coating for you and you could turn down my ballscrews for me. I'm sure we could come to some sort of agreement. I do work mostly for local Hot Rod shops and my quality is very high. I stock a few colors but would be willing to do the work and provide the powder at cost for a trade. Anyone? Anyone?  |
