    Nope. I don't know how involved it'd be. It's a job that'd need proper lifting tackle before you even start, though. If you're craz.... enthusiastic enough to try this - please take photos!

    No different from converting any other knee mill, just a few plates and belts along with correct size motors. The spindle head will be limiting. However unless it's very cheap don't think I'd bother and look for something better.

    Might be wrong but i think its going to go for the starting price of 800 nzd (400 pounds) .Thats why i had my eye on it. there are some much better and newer mills here but over 5000 NZD. I cant work out what the spindle clearance is. Found some info but its not mentioned. http://www.lathes.co.uk/denbigh/
