    What do you guys think I should do with this?

    Hey guys,

    I got this from a junk yard, supposedly it have AC motor and encoder on the back, but this one doesn't. But it got some very precision ball screw (no backlash at all) and seem to be very rigid. The only problem is it only have 2.5" of travel.

    - Put it on my manual lathe to make my lathe CNC?
    - Make a mini mill?
    - Any other ideas?

    It would be fun to make a super accurate mini mill, but is there any cheap servo drive that I can use?

    I do believe this was use for a jewelry machine of some sort.
