    Vermac zx45 cnc conversion

    Hello mates,i'd like to share my experience converting my milling machine to cnc..First of all I want to thank all the members that have shared their builds in this forum and especially 91TSiGuy,KJC, and gt40 because they saved me from a lot of troubles and provided me with inspiration and solutions during my endeavor.

    Some basic info for my build,
    1)3kw 3phase 380v motor 1420rpm belt conversion with timing belt/pulleys (ratios 2/1 and 1/2.5)
    2)Mt4 to bt30 conversion spindle
    3)mesa 5125 - 7i76 Breakout board
    4)ballscrews for x,y rm2005 and rm2505 for z
    5)nema34 8nm hybrid motors for x,y and Nema42 20nm for z
    6)3/8 impact wrench drawbar design for easier tool change
    . I will expand on details in next posts. If anyone wants to ask something specific,please inform in order to include it in my next post

    Where are you planning to source the spindle?
    There are 10 types of people in the world
    Those of us who get binary, and those who don't.
