I bought this of ebay last year it was incomplete and one of the last mills that Widgitmaster
http://widgitmaster.com/ Made. it required the lead screws machining and all the drilling and threading doing fortunately most holes had been spotter but it did come with a complete set of drawings.
all the standoffs where made and steppers fitted I think I could have got away with smaller motors I also bought a couple of high speed heads from

I am using a Gecko G540 drive, one of the problem I had was I initially tried to convert my X1 to CNC but stopped when I had some problems with sloppy nuts!!!
also I realized after a few minutes that everything needed to be in a box out of the way so this time I have fitted a server case under the bench on rails I tell everyone it is a microwave . everything will be moved in it as soon as it works, ( so may never see the inside)
so I am now at the try to get Mach 3 to work, anyone in the merseyside/ uk / word want to help me???
ill post any progress I make .
