Thanks Tony and John.

Looks like a good little machine to retrofit, and not too expensive. (Sadly much cheaper Stateside though) .

Since getting into 3D prototyping i've been looking for a small machine to do those small jobs, to free up the Interact for the bread n butter work.

I think I want a faster spindle though. Does anyone know what the Quill diameter is on these machines? Might be able to fit an air spindle in it's place.

Model Engineer's Workshop, about 2-3 issues back had a series on converting the X3 to CNC by Dick Stephens. I talked to him about the X3 at one point when I was thinking of buying one - he was vety helpful and knowledgeable.
