So, 15+ years ago I bought a G0619, ballscrews and the electronics to cnc it. It was fun, its seen its uses, but its never been great. Mainly the Z column. I've worked on it numerous times over the years trying to improve it, but it is what it is.

I'm at a point where again, I want a good, useable cnc mill. I don't need speed or deep cuts, but, acceptable quality, and the spindle speed/ability to run smaller endmills (.0625")


Should I buy a new manual mill platform and cnc it? What models are the best bets to surpass the mediocre G0619 results I saw?

Should I further consider fixing the G0619? New XY ballscrews, Hiwin rails/trucks to replace the dovetail on the Z column, and a better spindle?

Any thoughts are appreciated!
