Title: BVB25L Headstock upgrade advise.
Post by: cncfreakcncfrea on May 06, 2020, 01:13:00 AM

Hi all, Long time!
I'm thinking of upgrading my BVB25L lathe headstock to something like this:

Here's my lathe:

There are gears inside the headstock, would it be easier if I re-build the headstock?, please advise.
