I recently bought this mini mill from Harbor Freight and I would like to convert it to CNC.

The problem I have is that I don't know ANYTHING about CNC. I know the capabilities of it because I have friends that have done metal working in the past, and I use the mill manually. I recently acquired an older computer for the cause, but I really do not have a CLUE where to start buying any kits or anything. Can anyone recommended everything that is needed to start?

3 access kit, controller, and software? Do I need anything else?
