Hi everyone,
My name is Cleo, I am originally from France but I have been living in Shanghai China for a couple years now. Yesterday I went and purchased a 2nd hand BF25 mill for just under 300 bucks. Its in pretty good condition but I am already wanting to upgrade it. The original DC motor setup is extremely loud. I would like to convert it to an AC motor with a belt drive. I know a lot of you guys have done the conversion so I was wondering what motor and gear ratio you guys would recommend. Other than the original motor being loud, the quill has some slop when it goes up and down. I would like to remove it since I will be converting the mill to a CNC very soon.
Thanks in advance
Cleo
