Which are the most cost-effective modifications that you can make to a HF or Grizzly Mini-mill?
DRO? X\Y\Z scales?
Column Stiffener?
Head Counter balance?
Fixing the gibs?
Power feed?
Belt drive?
Install Delrin washers for the Y-axis leadscrew instead of thrust bearings?
CNC?
Tormach quick change tooling?
Belt drive conversion from LMS?
Spindle lock from LMS?
High quality custom bench?
Get all surfaces \ moving parts remachined & add a column support?
Fitting thrust bearings to the spindle?
Air spring?
Bolt mill to a slab of granite?
