I just ran across it at HF. It looks like it might make a nice cnc machine with a conversion.

for about as much money, i'd go with this square column mill from grizzly (http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0519).
It would be easier to deal with the Z axis on this one and it has 21 5/8in. X travel and 7 1/2in. Y travel. compared to 15 1/2 x 6 for the HF.
This might be my next mill instead of the X3.

Grizzle might be a better option but does it come with the "Goose Neck Lamp"? LOL

Industrial Hobbies at that point.
