    Need help on mill and Stepper connector

    While building my first cnc I need help on some parts.

    Can you show me a good threaded mill for Jgro type cnc?

    Also I will use Xylotex 3 axis kit. Well what is a suitable connector between the mill and the stepper for that kit(I dunno the dimensions of the steppers in the kit). I'll again purhase from US.

    BTW I have decided to go for Rotozip RZ10 for the router. Going to go for a Factory Reconditioned one since it is fairly priced.

    Maybe I'm asking much but forgive me because I have very little time to purchase some parts since my friend coming from US in a few weeks time.

    I searched for stepper to mill connector but found nothing. Also the names of the mechanical parts are like Chinese to me most of the time.

    So please give me a name ,a picture or a link if possible for stepper motor to mill connector fitting the steppers from Xylotex.

    I think this is what you are looking for http://www.clearstreamco.com/cscstore/lovejoy1.htm

    From what I have read there is alittle bit of slop in the fitting of these but most just make there own inserts after they build the machine and take away the slop.



    here is the thread http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showth...hlight=lovejoy

    I got the mills today. They are straight, strong and cheap but the nuts are not that good. Moreover the mill has about 3 threads per inch.

    For this setup I am going to 425oz stepper kit from Xylotex, what do you say ? Will the outcome be reasonable? the table dimensions will be about 80x60cm. Since tpi is quite low should I go for a smaller table for more precision?

    Thanks
