Re: Smithy 1324

I have a Granite 1324 bought with the expectations from Smithy that a
CNC conversion was available. Since I live in Michigan I have
been to their place of business and witnessed the attempts to cost
effectively convert to CNC...without success, and last I knew Smithy
has given it up.

I would be interested in the Anilam DRO scales. The milling machine I
have used to have them but the previous owner stripped them off prior
to the sale. Drop me a note via email if still available.

Thanx...Richard in Michigan.
