I’ve enhanced mine a bit, Tom. But got it during Covid, and HF would load it into the back of my truck at the store for me. Nobody else wanted to sell me something to keep me amused.
Enhancements are: a second banjo (using Grizzly parts) so I can put one on either side of my steady-rest when I’m using that. I already had the rests from Teknatool which come with either 5/8 or 1 inch posts, after I got tired of having to dress the HF tool rest, which is pretty soft and gets dings every time I use it. And I rebuilt the Reeves drive after one of the pulleys stopped moving due to a build-up of sawdust inside there. Nearly added a VFD at the same time, but with the Reeves Drive functioning correctly, the only thing I want is to go a little slower when starting a big unbalanced bowl blank.
