Here is one of the kits installed on a G0704 style machine. My buddy still needs to make a few adjustments but over all it is working great. The pressure applied to the slide is too high which is...
What I think makes the kit unique is:

The chip guard is a pan that came from amazon prime. They are very light gauge aluminum. And the Aluminum is extra soft so it isn't really an ideal long term solution. Because the aluminum is so...
Hey Guys, I would like to share my tool changer project with you. I have been working on this off and on for the last few months in-between production runs for my business. I have a RF45 style...
