Hi. Soofle616 is right, I'm not looking for a dual purpose machine.
The PC and software for the scanner died 5 years ago, and the company is closed, so my hopes of getting the scanner up and running again are no more.
The machine is very stable and I think the speed is around 100mm/s so I guess you're right, it wouldn't be that fast.
I took off a cover to see what motors are used dor the xyz axis's , and that makes no sense to me
Maybe it tells you something though. I noticed that the motors are fitted with encoders though, but if they should be used or not, I don't know.
Maybe you're right, maybe it'll be too much work to get this working........could be fun though

Thanks for your input guys
