But will they sell one without PC & software? I haven't checked Ray Henry's reply to Kirk, about Smithy, either.

That's not too bad. And: KX3 622 Table travel - X axis: 300 mm(12") 300mm Table travel - Y axis: 150 mm(6") 120mm Head travel - Z axis: 290 mm(11") 290mm Motor power & spindle speeds are also identical. Both can be had in R8 taper, the KX3 also in MT3. (But that could be more awkward for tool changing?) Erik -- Man cannot live by bread alone.
