Re: Asian Lathe Conversion

I've seen a "Tracer" now that you mention it. (some where, some time)
Good idea, thanks for reminding me.

I think I'll first look into a complete retrofit with the ball-
screws. I won't do it unless I can maintain current machine control.
Even if I have to flip a lever to disingage or what ever.
I need to see a machine to tell if my ball-nuts and what-all will fit.
Even if I loose a couple of inches in the Leadscrew length, is OK.

Does anyone know if Grizzly's stuff is Taiwan?
I have been bugging their teck support so much the last few days,
he'll probably call me bad names if I call again.
I have a Mill and some woodworking machines from Griz.
I've had to do some tweeking of one sort or another on all of them
when they were new.
But, never a complaint sense.
