Hi Gents
Just popping in to say "Bravo!" to fdos for his brilliant work on the HXL!
Also extending a warm hello to Hood! LTNS! Don't see you on the PM board much these days.
fdos, I have an HXL, too, a 1983 model. I stumbled onto this thread via a google search. I've been a member here for a while, but never posted much. I think that may change
I looked into Mach a while back to retrofit an older mill but managed to get it working so I slacked off. I'm thinking that Mach would be an excellent choice for retro fit on my old Hardinge. Hood was instrumental in educating me about geckos and rutex and stuff.
Hood, my visit to the UK is looking good for the first two weeks of May. Would love to swing up there to see you if you're up for it.
Good luck with the HXL fdos! Got any updated pictures?
Mark
