Heresy?

At the risk of being expelled (quite rightly perhaps!) and suitably shot down in flames, banished, forever tarred and feathered........

How outlandish and totally unacceptable would it be to convert a pretty chunky CNC Inspection machine into a light weight mill? hi speed spindle and small cutters?

Ok, ok - start thrashing me now!

What's outlandish and totally unacceptable is that you haven't included any pictures!

A prospective purchase depending on the outcome of this discussion!
It's a Farranti Model 52 CMM machine

I'm normally good at finding things on t'Interweb, but this time I have drawn a blank. Ferranti do a model 52. Is that the one?

Seek and you shall find!

Thanks for that. The big question is what's hiding behind the bellows and what sort of load is it designed to withstand? Not much I would assume.
