I'd thought of reversing the stepper on the Y axis but using a piece of aluminium channel, say 80x40, for the mount , This would provide protection for the belt. Not sure what wall thickness would be required for rigidity. |

Thanks for putting this thread up. I would very much like to CNC my X3 (it's on this year's list) but have no relevant skill and there appear to be no 'conversion kits' here in Blighty. So your WIP will be very interesting... Regards, John |

I ordered the larger base from LMS for their HiTorque mill. This should give me more range in the Y axis. It is also a bit heavier. So, I am going to hold off on finishing up the Y bearing/motor mounts and start on the X. Going to see if I can start it tonight. X axis will include; a longer acme screw, an acetyl nut and new motor mounts. I am going to gear the motor like the Y axis is. Eric |
