These bigger clones are significantly heavier and harder to work on. You will need a engine hoist or overhead winch to disassemble and reassemble. There is a lot of cnc conversion info on the small...

The trouble with some of the china motors and drivers is that the instructions and support may not be very good. I suggest taking a look at eDealers Direct on ebay and look at his nema 23 packages....
Go to youtube and look up CNC4XR7. He has some videos where he installed some linear rails on a PM727 benchtop mill.
I got mine from ebay. It was depressing looking at all the high prices but if you are diligent, you can pick one up at a reasonable price. A lot of them will have an offer button so you can throw in...
eBirdman, I am currently building my first CNC milling machine. I am just about done with the electrical part of the conversion. I am waiting on a couple of parts to come in and I'll be able to...
You can also use a rubber hose and push it down into the slots. That seems to work well. You should be able to machine some aluminum or plastic covers for the end cavities pretty easy.
Thanks for all the replies. Last night, I did score a nice 3" APT boring head with an R8 arbor on ebay. I would have preferred a 2" boring head so I could also use the 1/2" boring bars in my quick...
I am looking at buying a boring head. I am currently using the tts tool holders already so I like the tts boring arbor. How is the quality of the boring head? Is it better than most of the lower...
Nice machine and nice work. Sound like you have a good grasp on it. I just received my clearpath motors for my pm940. My pm940 just came in a couple weeks ago so I can get ready to do a conversion on...

I have one but haven't used it yet. I am in the process of doing a conversion on a Precision Matthews pm940. I am still buying all the stuff I will need. I just received the milling machine two weeks...

Does anyone know where to buy cid tooling online?
I am going to place an order for a IH cnc mill soon and have some questions.
What coolant systems are you using on your IH cnc? What size pump? What size tank? What about nozzles and hose?
What...
I don't get that way much but I may try to soon. If I can, I'll pm you. Thanks
Hello, does anyone with an IH mill live around or close to southest missouri? I would like to see one up close. I live near poplar bluff. Thanks
Do you mean southwestern industries?
Maybe one is better than the other, maybe not. If one is better than the other, it doesn't mean that one is bad and one is good. It simply means that one may be a little better than the other. But...
