Well, I do like the fact that their systems cost less and the motors have a bit more goodness in them. Also, I am in the states so that helps very much too. Just so you know, your hoss.com link doesn't work, but the .info does. I'll take a look at their stuff a bit more.

Any other links to an affordable cnc mounting kit. I looked at the cncfusion which looks great, but also costs more than the actual mill and I still have to buy the tooling and well, I'm sure it will make more sense to me when I get them and have them in front of me. So not much budget left, but I would like to look into cnc for this later. Now I know that R8 is used by the bridgeports which have been around for a long time. I went to their site to see what the machines use now. Now I know why that is a standard. I was looking at the quick connect collet kits from grizzly, but they have both the R8 and MT and they are not cheap, this is why I was also asking, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind. I'll come back and bug you guys again when I get things set up and maybe get some pictures for other newbies to see what they get when you first make a purchase for these two items.

Note: Scanning through your pages, I noticed you still have the handle left on it...that I like very much and the cncfusion kit removes it. I may have to take a closer look at them. You got a lot of great info, so I'll be reading all night again...hehe...
