Theres a Kitamura Mycenter 1 and Mycenter3b near me that i can get dirt cheap and im thinking about buying one or the other cutting out all the electronics and then adding new ones.
Im thinking a UCCNC controller or Masso with step and direction drivers and then replacing the servos with Clearpath. These seem beefy and until i get the machine i wont know size required.

if i drop 10k into it and i have a modern control and some serious rigidity.... nothing quite out there that can do that for that cost.
Before i buy this thing and dive in, anyone have any thoughts?
I know they have Turcite ways but its cast under that, and i was even thinking of removing turcite and adding some beefy linear rails.
If this thing isnt cutting as deep as it originally did, im ok with that. I still think it would be leagues ahead of something like a tormach 440.
