And so the long process of CNC conversion starts....
After the success of moving and installing the machine (http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showth...ht=BF30&page=2) I have made a start on the conversion to CNC. I suspect that this will be a sloooow process due to family / re-decorating commitments but in true Shawshank style, I'll just chip a little away each day.
Heres a picture of the X axis mount plate I finished last night with a pic of the general 3D CAD. I've ordered the X and Y ball screws and have the stock material to make the ball nut housings. I'll post more when I get to an interesting point.
