So I just ordered the PRS Z upgrade along with a set of geared motors for my PRT Alpha. This will leave me with a spare Z carriage as well as four older motors with brand new pinions just installed.
The new parts are going on my 4x8 table, I also have an Alpha 5x10 unit which will also be upgraded as my budget allows, can anybody suggest any way to utilize the old components such as an indexer, or possibly a second Z? :confused:

Here is a link to the indexer that I made with an extra Oriental motor and a Rikon lathe.
