Hi Everyone,
I've had an X1 collecting dust for a few years and have recently thought about converting it to CNC. I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer to help decide if it's worth it.
1. The parts I want to make are 2x2x5" aluminum. One side has a 1.75x2" pocket at a depth of 1-7/8". Would this machine be able to handle that or would I be exceeding the limitations of the X1?
2. Probotix has a control kit for $199 with 166oz motors. Would that be enough or do I need more powerful ones? I've also seen the kits at Keliginc.com but they are closer to $400.
Thanks!
