Finally got finished with electronics cabinet for the CNC conversion. Wanted all cabling done and motors running before I took apart mill.
PC running LinuxCNC. NEMA 34 stepper motors with optical encoders so I will get error if steps get missed.
Mesa 7i96S Ethernet board controls the stepper drivers.
The conversion kit was purchased from ArizonaCNCkits. Very nice set of hardware.
Here is link to video of initial axis testing. The Z axis is not powered in this video. I manually drove the spindle down to do a test of X and Y axes.
