I've been searching around here for a bit, and found almost nothing (except some nice 3d renderings) regarding the Machine Tools Warehouse (MTW) MD001 mill.
The X travel is perfect for what I need (need > 20" usable travel after any CNC conversion), and it seems like a beefy enough machine while remaining small enough that I just might be able to get it into my basement workspace.
I'm curious to know if anyone has converted one to CNC and, if so, how it differs from the rf45 and IH mill conversions and I've been reading about here. Pictures appreciated if you have them. (EDIT: I did find ninefinger's build thread and am following up with him, but I figured there may be others?)
I'm also wondering why I don't see any information here. It seems like a good priced mill with a huge work envelope. Are there any known issues with it or MTW?
I've sent an email through the "contact us" link on the MTW site with some questions about the MD001, but haven't yet heard back. I also asked them if it would be possible to get one, but substitute the belt-driven higher-speed head (for a price, of course) in their MD001-CNC machine. A nice machine, but out of my budget. Any idea if someone from MTW is on the forums here at all?
