I see Bob Loveless really is a big influence on you. No one better to emulate thats for sure.
I use to collect years ago and still have one Bowie from Rick Browne and a Tanto from Kieth Coleman both guild members.
Love your work….very impressed.

Here is a set of 2 hp. 2×72″ belt grinders that use in the shop. They are full variable. One is a Dc. Drive, while the other is a newer variable frequency AC drive. We use mostly ceramic carbide belts on these stee hoggers!

to be honest theres not a huge amount left of the original hurco
just the main casting really and refurbed ballscrews and linear slides
the bed, spindle and electronics are all being ditched for 5 axis table, high speed spindle and new computers running AC servos
Those hurco’s are nice and accurate little machines!! You’ll soon be in buissiness!!
Regards,
Marc
