I've never seen one till someone was asking on here about one that was being sold locally so here's the link to that thread for you. Convert. Elky Thread (http://www.necoa.org/postt1496.html&sid=08837332f14bd5f9a551cfc9ccbad3e8)

There are several companies that make do-it-yourself kits to turn your Elky into a convertible...Ryobi, Makita, and Milwaukee. :lol: I know, sometimes I'm such an A$$( )o( )

I've read somewheres that the handles on thier drills are a bit slippery. So be carefull if you use one of those. Uncontrolled drills can cause some carnage. :P

You guys forgot PORTER CABLE. I have all of them and will be very cautious and use my goggles. Thanks for all your help.

Saw a guy last year make a convertible out of his Elky.. He hit the back of a stalled 18 wheeler.. I would NOT advise this method!
