The T55 kit is only going to go up about $10 so I may go that
route in the future - or - fine tune the set up on the sliding
table of my Robland X-31.

I am toying with either getting a combination machine with a sliding table
or a T55 kit.
I have to upgrade somehow but have little room to do it. The T55 will
certainly take less room.
(It is also much cheaper, but that isn't my prime consideration)
It sounds like you think it is a better option also?
