    Default Does anyone actually make an add on ATC for bench top Mills? or even plans?

    I've searched to no end about this. I see that has Hoss build a few and a couple other people do the same. I'm looking for an off the shelf unit that someone can buy and install on a bench top? It's not that I can't fab one up I just don't want to if there is one out there already for sale. I don't care if it's home built by someone in their garage or a Chinese one sold on Alibaba. There's got to be something out there.
    The only thing I've run across is this one on Automationtechnologiesinc website, but if you look closely it actually has a lifting ring on it which means it weighs 10,000 lbs, OK maybe not 10,000 lbs but it is ridiculously heavy. There's got to be something out there. Any help?

    I actually have a Skyfire vmc2 on order. Maybe when I get it I'll see if it will fit my Charter Oaks conversion. If it does that would be a way to go. Expensive upgrading the spindle though but maybe worth it.
