I have a Grizzly 7x14 that I fitted with a ER-32 collet chuck.
It was improved with a steel gearset and I "fixed" a ton of things that were machined wrong on it to make it more suitable.
An OXA quick change toolpost was a must have for me and I outfitted it with narrow nosed live center.
The end thrust setup on the leadscrew was janky, so I machined a nicer setup for it.
I was very disappointed with the drive motor mount, so I made a radiused and counterbored flat plate to mount it.
I cleaned the casting pimples off the mounting area and made thicker stepped washers in order to give it better support.
In the end, I had to modify the splash pan a little to compensate for the added dimension of the plate, but the end result was what I was after.
