.........probably closer to impossible than "somewhat hard" :-)

If the gentleman has the space and the ways are good, the machine's original
spindle could be abandoned and the frame could be used for all sorts of other
things. A laser etching, engraving or cutting platform, a small plazma or oxy
acetylene cutter unit. A frame to hang a high speed spindle (mount a Perske
or Porter Cable router) or a crude pick and place machine, the list seems
endless. One could mount a sherline spindle on it and have the largest most
rigid "sherline mill" around. Seems a shame to let a good set of ways
attached to a good table go to waste. You'd have enough space to mount
several Sherline heads in a row, each with a different tool on it. No need
for a tool changer then !!

IMO. And yes, slightly insane.
