Re: ENCO RF45 Clone CNC Conversion - LinuxCNC
Hey Kurt;
Nice job! I really enjoy watching a build up of one of these machines into a decent CNC mill. I converted an old RF45 lathemaster years ago when most of the parts were sourced off of ebay and we had to use what was available and affordable. I have since purchased a Torus Pro for my hobby shop and the old Rung Fu is just setting taking up a bunch of space in my small shop. I'm planning to re-engineer it with modern drives, ball screws and a power drawbar similar to the one designed for the Pro. I'm going to use a lot of your design work and I wan to say thanks in advance. Also, would it be possible to tell me were you sourced your ball screws and hardware. I am planning to convert my z-axis to linear rails and use the setup you designed to balance the head. Like It!
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Regards.
Bill
