I bought a really nice Deckel FP2 in the UK
It was missing the anglehead but as I have 4 of these laying around and the price was good that was not a dealbreaker
Even when it turned out to be a imperial machine I have no regrets
This one is the one with 400mm X-stroke
It happens to be I have a older Deckel FP2 with 500mm X-stoke for spares
So I intend to rebuild the machine to metric The only thing is I need a 400mm X spindle
So options on that one. I can shorten the 500mm one if possible
I can buy a new spindle or I can have a new spindle made for less than half the cost of a new one
A complete different approuch would be if someone in imperialland has a metric machine and wants to rebuild his machine to imperial ??
Or even sell the machine to imperialland (Shipping would be USD1000 to any port)
But thats a long shot
Any other problems I have not thought of??
