Well, after doing a bunch of research I've decided to convert a G0704. I looked at converting my RF30 but I don't have the time to make all of the parts manually and my quest to buy a RTR CNC mill (Dyna 2400) fell through 3 times.

I've already ordered the G0704 from Grizzly and CNC Fusion's premium conversion kit.

My plan is to use with Hoss' Digital Package (KL5056D drivers, 570oz steppers, 48V/12.5A supply) from Automation Direct.

I still have a few blanks to fill in. I am planning to use a Lenovo Core i3 laptop. It doesn't have parallel or serial ports, so I am looking into the Ethernet Smooth Stepper.

I'm also interested in getting a MPG. I've tried searching the zone for recommendations, but it fails when I try.

This will be my first CNC conversion, so any input would be appreciated.
