Not many more pictures to show as the machine still looks mostly the same since the last update but here's a video of the wiring process and some testing.

Re: Retrofitting and old benchtop mill - Town Labs 512
Some test cuts.

The accuracy is a little off but that may be due to some adjustments needing to be made in the software and the need to tighten up some parts. The linear bearings were less than impressive so maybe different ones will straighten it up a little. I'm guessing there's about 0.005" that be tightened up and another 0.010" that needs adjusted in Mach.
An engraving test as well. This is what I am hopeful to be able to use this thing for so even if I can't get that last little bit of error out it seems to be plenty close enough for engraving
