i am new to the site ... and to the home shop ... i have been working around and on shop equipment since high school (almost 14 years) but never did any serious milling or lathe work ... well now i have a speedway lathe from homier and a mini mill from homier also ... same mill that JFettig has and converted ... i had no prior thoughts of a cnc conversion until i stumbled across this site ... i been doing alot of reading and tell you the truth i am lost ...
lets start with the basic questions ...
what is the difference between step motors and servos ??
why convert from gears to belt drive ???
what is the approximate cost of conversion ???
how long does the conversion take about ??
thanks ... there will be more i am sure ...
i am truely impressed with the vast knowledge in these forums !!!
you guys are awesome in the things you do ....
