If you really want to make some money. Make a bolt-on kit for the 9x20 lathe. There are not any bolt on/zero-backlash kit available for the 9x20. If you do make one, I'll be you first customer. |
I must admit I would be sorely tempted to do the RF45 first, if for no other reason than it would be easier. Larger machines are easier to do - I found my knee mill conversion much easier than the X2, simply because there is so much more room to work with, and do things the way I want to, rather than the way that fits. Plus, I'd love to have one as a second machine.
