Thanks Mark. Yes pretty blessed here. Feel almost like Tommy. Just keep buying machines lol. But retrofits are fun and they pay for themselves on the first few jobs so why not. I want a horizontal cnc mill now that I can turn into a full 5 axis with rotating head and 4th axis on the table. That would be cool.
And it would be cool to explore the possibility of linuxcnc controlling a dual spindle lathe in the future.
