looks like small wrench size for tightening r8 collets i was thinking of getting one of these or busy bee craftex 601 mill

craftex 601 looks like a nice machine but not as many dealers and if you have to have it shipped it could cost a nice chunk of money. KV-20VS-2 mill that I got has a good sized table but I seem to be always winding the head up and down between milling and drilling opperations. Used to have a PDM 30 King mill it was a work horse but being a round column mill moving the head up and down created locationing problems as it always moved a little sideways.Let us know what you end up getting and how you like it.

@@MrModify my preference is a pm30mv with belt drive n no gears but im in ont. i m a very exp cnc mill guy, makin zamboni parts atm at work.

I would have liked a cnc mill too as I have some cnc programing experiance also but can't afford that.

@@MrModify do you think your kc20 mill is a good candidate for converting to cnc ?btw i think there are very many projects you could make n sell on kijiji or facebook market place etc. everything today seems to be made to last a yr r 2 r 3 at most.

If your work pieces are not too big I think it sould work with cnc. I think I have seen some youtube videos on this question. Do some searches on youtube, maybe you can find someone who has done this on that machine. If you do it and find that you are happy please let me know as I might try it also.
