Hi Paul,

Many of us don't know what an X3 is. Would you elaborate on that for us?

Sure this is the Industrial Hobbies forum so the IH stands for Industrial Hobbies.

After using some time Google etc. I allready suspected it and even found corresponding web page ;-)))) But thanx anyway.

But, what it was a littlebit dissapointing, I dont found any reference on IH website talking about Sieg X3 conversion kit etc

So, it would be nice to know the price and see some pictures/drawings about this kit. Do you know, are they preparing something for Super X3 too? The Z-axis should probably handled differently, as this seems to be complitely new desing - but I can confirm it inside some weeks as soon as container with our Super X3-s will arrive, finally

I am also looking for suitable CNC kit for this mill. I checked Industrial Hobbies, but their kit seem to be suited for a larger mill.
It should still have ballscrews and servos for accuracy.
Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

Call Aaron at Industrial Hobbies about the new kit for the X3. Paul is receiving the first kit.

Thanks,

I already emailed them. Any other sources with available kits for delivery?

In Europe, www.dhcenter.de (or actually www.hobbymarkt.de) is provaiding kits for X2 (and C2, i think), but not so far for X3.

Btw, but despite of fact that there seems to be only very limited number of vendors for commercial conversion kits, you can just take advantage about several non-commercial websites related to Sieg X3 conversion. I hope, majority of those are collected and listed in following web page:
