cnc conversion

Hello, Yes, another Seig mill conversion thread... However I haven't seen much discussion on the X1 within quite a few years span, and those threads never seemed to come to any resolution. To make matters worse, all of the referenced material (Hossmachine, CNCfusion, Yahoo groups) are dead...

I'm at the last step of ordering the motors and controllers for my CNC conversion but I'm not sure what to chose and was hoping to find someone's recent build to duplicate.I want to go with clear-path servo motors #CPM-SDSK-3432P-RLN for the z axis and CPM-SDSK-3421S-RLN for the x & y axis but...

Hello everyone, I have an order on a PM-728VT and is due to deliver within a month. I will do a CNC conversion (with the PM mechanical kit), and will document it here, while also posting the myriad questions that are certain to come up. I am planning to weld up a base for it that will...

The start of a PM30MV conversion. A look at electrical and some of the issues I’m having. Toroidal Transformer Details: primary winding (220V) Secondary winding (60V) Power: 900W 220V Fuses: ATQR15A (15 Amp Fuse)

All, I bought a PM-25MV mill about a month ago hoping to convert it to CNC. You can see my thread regarding this purchase here: Possible Purchase of PM-25MV. I figure I should move this discussion here since it's no longer about purchasing and moving the mill, but about CNC conversion. I plan...

Hi everyone this is my first post here I'm supposed to get my LMS 3990 soon. I ordered the heavy metal CNC conversion kit. Having used the mini mill in the past there are some things that I want to address. Firstly there's the rigidity of the column, even though its a solid column there is...

After about 8 years (!!!) of looking at various mills (starting with the Sieg X2/X3, then G0704, and finally the PM-25MV) I placed my order! It should ship sometime in late September. Which brings me to my question. I want to convert it to CNC. What kits have people had experience with? I...

Hi everybody. I thought I would start the Journey of my build based on the recommendation from TomS. I've listed some of the parts I have down below and a list of what I need to finish the build. Parts Purchased: 2x 1600 oz Stepper motors for the X and Y axis 2x 60v 350 watt power supply for...

After doing considerable research I've concluded the Grizzly G0704 has been the best candidate to CNC for hobby machinist in the last 4-5 years. However, I've noticed most of the articles and videos are 3-4 years old. Here in late 2015, is there a better mill to CNC given what you guys know...
