    Favorite Mods

    I thought it would be nice to have a thread where people chime in with the favorite mods they have made to their machines.

    My favorite mod is oiling. In my opinion, the biggest weakness of the Taig is it's lack of oiling. Machines need oil and it's difficult to get oil on the the ways as it comes from the factory.

    The other reason I like this mod is it's free.

    I'll let the pictures tell the story.
