Agree with Andy.... Having done a retrofit on an RF45 that was reasonably good and now having a running Cincinatti Arrow 500 VMC here sans toolchanger I wish I would have started with a used machine that was higher quality as well as ALREADY CNC.... There are all sorts of nice machines out there on the used market large and small and if they were CNC already your job of retrofitting is considerably easier and the resulting machine will most likely be far more accurate and precise. Altho some of those deckel machines are quite complicated to retrofit there are many others including benchtop machines. Just look around a bit and inspect the machine carefully for undue wear. Good luck. Peace
