Hi to all,
stemming from Bruce's comment here: https://www.practicalmachinist.com/...rizontal-quill-367129/index2.html#post3403316
and doing a lot of daydreaming (it's not illegal to dream, right? ), I was wondering.
If I ever found the tens of thousands of Euros required, and a machine itself, I would like to have a late square FP2 or FP3.
Would the attachments that I have with my 500mmX FP2 work?
I think that tables will fit (it's the first FP3 that have different spacing on the vertical table, but that might only reduce possible positions).
But what about heads? Would the angular head or the slotting head that I have fit the newer models?
I think they might, but not sure. Don't have documentation on these newer Deckels as well, a brochure I guess would answer my questions.
BR,
Thanos
