Hi Brian I've just picked up an M300 at a government auction and about to install at home, so your video is a great entry into what I will need to do. Your modifications are very clever. I will use a 2.2kw VSD to run mine. The coolant pump which is 3 phase was missing but I've picked up a single phase pump that will do the job. Thanks again for your videos.
I bought a new pratt 3 jaw Chuck and was disappointed in the quality, so I returned it (it was their budget range). I now run a bison 3 jaw chuck, which is excellent.
