Hoss CNC Conversion material cost?

[Micro Rotors]

Hoss,

Sorry, for what?

Also what is in the kit, does it take it to the full X2 Freak?

Thanks
Bill

I am doing a bit of Hoss's stuff and it would have been a deal getting pre cut blanks (thanks Hoss)

Sorry, I should have offered this sooner.
better late than never I guess.

It will be stock for the standard X2 cnc conversion.

The Freak parts would run a few hundred $ more.
and no, I really don't plan on offering that any time soon

Hahaha

No I was just trying to find out just how far I could go. (bustin your ... well you know!)

I already made mine I was wondering if you were throwing in the head tilting-extending stuff. I have not extended my Y axis yet as I am having to much fun just running it now but I will want to do it some time in the future. Probably whats holding me back, is the whole counter weight stuff. I just don't have room for it really and I my machine runs fine without it so far.

Question: ... Is it worth it, I mean have you been finding a need for it more than not?

If I did do it, I might put that on another Axis and build it like a rotary table out of aluminum to minimize the weight.

Another Question: ... Was adding another base to extend your Y axis a pain and did you have to re-cut the dovetails to make them line up, and did yop have to make a new Gib?

Anyhow ... Thanks Hoss

Hey Bill,
Yeah it was worth it, I think.

It will be apparent in the next couple projects I tackle.
The extra capacity will make it much easier.
The Y axis expansion wasn't that big a deal, nothing too difficult.
I didn't have to remachine the dovetails, they were within .001,
but I did lap them together when it was done.
