For those of you who have converted your benchtops to linear rails instead of using the dovetails and gibs was it worth the trouble? Is there a certain axis you see more benefit for and would leave...

Thats the kind of info I was looking for and it will save some money and trouble as well. Ill try to find out some more info on these motors. Ill also take a look at those drives and see what they...

I have a SX3 and a CNC Fusion kit that I plan to install soon. Ive been thinking about this for a while now and keep going back and fourth. I know I want to go with seperates as far as the drivers...

Ive been away for a little while but just saw your post. I have the CNC fusion kit but have not installed it yet. From what Ive read you dont want to install the ball screws before adding your...

I cant believe noone has replied but thanks for posting this. I have been looking for a good model of the mill. So thanks for taking the time to do this.

I have the G0619 SX3 and currently have it mounted to an old metal craftsman table with 2 layers of melamine. My little machine will shake it pretty easy. That's why I wanted to make a heavy wood...

I'm looking forward to your build. I have been planning on something more rigid as well but set my goals a little lower using wood.

I've been doing some research and think I may just go with the single Gecko drives. I want to eventually use the parts for a larger work envelope more custom mill so it's somewhat future proofing.

I dont know about the limitations. Thats more of what I was asking if I should or shouldn't bother with it. I have never used the Linux OS so it would probably be more of a learning curve. With...

From the few builds and partial builds I have seen it appears most people are using embedded metal plates to adjust the machine alignment. Can any of you who have built a machine comment on how you...

I am about o start my conversion and have been looking into all the electronics. At first I thought about going with the Gecko 203V individual drivers but since its a SX3 Im wondering now if I...

I just wanted to make a quick bump on this for more info if anyone has anything to add. Thanks for the info WOTDesigns and Johann.

Im in the same boat as you and will be starting my conversion soon. I looked up the couplers on the Heli-Cal site and they make a .250 to .375 coupler so that shouldnt be an issue. It looks like...

looking good. I have been wanting to convert to cnc for a while now and have been reading over all the info I can find on improvements before I take the plunge. Your idea is really interesting and...

I have seen the job of scraping the ways and truing the gibs on the machines a few times and seem to only catch bits and pieces of the process. Has anyone done a complete walkthrough on the 3 axis's...

Sorry for the delayed reply. I saw that offering from Grizzly for a bolt on option but like you said I hate to pay out that much vs putting it towards a conversion. If there was something I could...

I have a Grizzly G0619 (SX3) and want to add a powerfeed. I plan to go with full cnc in the future so i was thinking about what motors and controllers would allow me to use that with a cnc...

Are there any programs other than cnc simulator that will simulate a program i have written. Ive tried that one but would like to have something a little better. Also if it costs a little thats fine...
