The killer upon deeper look is the collets. It looks like B&S #9. Don't know how hard they are to find but I'm deeply invested in R8 and resent having to buy another different set. Rusnok is a pretty deep rabbit hole too and I guess after you dive it makes sense. It was easy to find the sales literature and find the ST is a long discontinued model.
I love the idea of combo horizontal/verticle but kinda learned my lesson with discontinued equipment and would be doubly wary of something as rare as Rusnok even if they are revered. I agree too about the head mount. Even though it would be a challenge to fab it should have had an adjustable nod that placed the axis above the mount so you could gain some Z clearance. Seemed kinda limited that way.
