I'm currently in the process of turning my HF 93212 7X14 over to
computer
control.
I'm currently controlling the Lead Screw & Cross Slide & may include the

CNCing my 7x10-14 is on my todo list. I do not see any good reason to
CNC
the compound or even keep it. I can cut any angles I need just by
programming them.


Leaving the compound in place is only going to make the machine less
rigid.

--suggest pull it off and mount a sturdy tool post or a slot type gang
slide directly to the cross slide.

I was thinking of milling a keying slot directly into the cross slide, and
then making all other components to drop into it and bolt solidly to the
slide.




Or make a new one, that has more -X- travel...
