    Ok, got it, makes sense now.

    I think you did the right thing, my BP can fling the chips a good 8' away but its only me so who cares :)

    I was strongly advised NOT to convert the BP and that advice was right. The advise was to sell it and get an old CNC VMC etc and retrofit the electrics - this would have been ideal BUT i could not physically fit anything but a BP in my shop - not even a proper CNC BP. I also do not have the power capacity for the big spindle motors on CNC stuff.

    Now i have used it a few times, I REALLY want a proper CNC mill with an auto tool changer. ;)

    Total cost was silly money but once you dive in you cant back out.
