Note taken, Yes on the CNC. I wounder if you could have both? CNC and manual?an electronic gear box is something Tim K and I talked about years ago.( before Legacy went into CNC.) Can you have your cake and eat it too? ;-) Have a great day. And Merry Christmas to you as well. C.A.G.

My home made setup controller developed a problem and I switched back to manual, and let me tell you that its a time consuming change to use the mill manually! There are two main advantages of cnc that I miss when going back to manual. First, motor holding torque keeps your z height from changing. Going back to manual using a digital caliper to measure the z height and then locking it down manually is quite annoying in comparison. Secondly, a motorized rotary axis is so great that it's hard to go back to manual. Kind regards, Dustin

On E-bay there is an 1800 CNC unit. its a very old cnc.I am asking if you were going to buy it, would you use it as a cnc or convert it back to a manual unit.
