I'm looking at a local South Bend Heavy 10 later this week, and if it checks out, it is getting a collet closer and going in my garage, where it will feed parts to the G0704... I may still find a 9x19 or 10x22 for a quick and dirty CNC tho...
Or... Thinking... Since I'd end up ebaying the tailstock, and a bunch of misc. parts, has anyone successfully computerized a small South Bend? Considering that they seem to go for a few bucks more than a 7x10, if the platform is solid, I'm thinking that could be the way to go for some of the "push the button, get a part" type stuff that I'm working...
