IH has had some mod's done to the castings, But, they are all delivered as manual machines and require the aditional mod's for CNC conversions.
One of the most noteriety mod's they had done was to stiffen the dove tail cut are of the column on the inside, it adds a lot of rigidity material to the inside or thinnest area of the collumn to help keep it from distorting from the gib adjustment tensions. If you haven't gathered, it is difficult to say in words !
