First of all i would like to say hi as i am a new member to the forum...i came across it just surfing the net trying to find info on conversions for my mill.... When i was younger i ditched many classes in school and was often found in the engineering section machining up parts and peices for my motorcycle and radio controlled cars.The machining i used back then was a bridgport of some description and since then have always wanted to buy my own machine...so recently i bought the mill (as pictured).Its a Kondia FV1 or SB1?that i bought from an old guy who bought the machine new back in 1985 after he retired...it hasnt had much use at all and i bought it for the price of $1800AUD... now i dont know much about mills so the first question i have is,A.Is this a repritable brand machine?B.Not that it matters now but was it a good deal?C.If possible could i convert it to CNC?D.What componants do i need and where are they obtained?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
