You're welcome to mod mine....Yea, it's definitely not a stock 12z anymore. I'm running out of things to do to it.
It should, practically the only thing still stock on there is the cast iron. lolFeels like a completely different machine.

Hmmm, I'm seeing servos and a computer in your future!

So what part of this prevents cnc use? Or is it cnc with their kit that wont work? Im curious.Paul contacted me yesterday and asked if I was using my 12z with the ball screw kit as a manual machine only, and don't intend to convert to CNC in the future. Apparently, the ball screw conversion has become popular with some of the manual machine crowd, and there are some modifications that they can do to the bearing blocks to make using hand wheels much more easy. Once the mods are done though, you can't go CNC. So they are going to go ahead and make the mods and get the stuff in the mail to me next week.
It would be cool to talk to some of the other 12z owners that have done this and other mods, but don't hang out here. Is there a forum somewhere else for CO owners? Yahoo maybe?

I don't have a big enough air compressor for a power drawbar, but I've been talking to Paul about modifying a Mach-1 to work with the belt-drive system.
And a Merry Christmas to you as well.
