Around 2 years ago I first discovered CNC Zone and was inspired by Chich2’s thread Hafco HM52 conversion to CNC. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25895
I was considering purchasing a King Rich Knee Mill at that time until the AU$ exchange rate went through the floor. In Feb this year and the AU$ in much better shape, I decided to revisit the idea and have gone ahead and bought a KRV-2000 with a few factory fitted extras which will help with my CNC conversion. I’m in Adelaide and my new machine was shipped to my computer business in the city and transferred to my ute for the short trip home. At around 1300kg the logistics exercise in moving and positioning a machine of this size shouldn’t be under estimated. A chain block and rollers did the final job after a fair amount of sweat and cursing. I have interests in motorsport also I have begun a Honda S600 restoration. Conversion of a Mill is another project to keep me busy in semi retirement and is mainly for hobby use in future. My workshop includes a Hafco AL-340D 415V Lathe and 1200 x1.6mm folder.
