Power feed for CX601

[_ACH_]

Hello, does anyone know which power feed model will work with a CX601. It has a 12mm shaft.

I've found a few on Vevor and Amazon that fit a 5/8 shaft but I do not access to a lathe in case I need to make an adapter.

Try Little Machine Shop and/or Grizzly. The stuff on Vevor and Amazon are for Bridgeport's, BP clones and RF30 clones.

Since the CX601 has a 33" X 8" table I wouldn't shy away from a Bridgeport style power feed (Vivor is the cheapest I've found so far). Where are you located? A local forum member may be able to help you with what ever adapters you can't make yourself.

Thanks. I'm located in Vaughan, ON. I'll look more into the Vevor power feeds. I'm also looking into Precision Matthews although not cheap.

Power feed ideas???

Going on a Craftex cx601 I was going to put a power feed on. I bought one off eBay but it was the wrong style so was thinking of modding it but I am sure someone on here has already done something like this or has great ideas in their head. It would be better if it was mounted on the left and...

This is very similar to what BlondieHacks has on her mill and will most likely fit the xc601

Hope this helps...

Thanks. I see it comes with the 90 degree mount which could be handy.

That's considered a horizontal PF and is specifically intended for table top machines and tends to be pricey. I doubt it mounts to a 12mm shaft, 17mm maybe.
