Hi all, This is my first post and also my first serious machine project. So here she is: The plan is to: Strip and assess. Acquire all the bits. Machine all the parts. Fit and test. Make many things with it :thumbup: |

Hiya mrckt! :wave: Welcome to the collective :borg: Will be watching this. I have a mini mill converted that is getting ready to undergo a rebuild! Eric |

Thanks for the welcome. I've spent the last few days stripping and looking at ebay for bits. I've already got 12Nm Stepper Motor and Driver but I need to get two 3.1 Nm Stepper Motors and Drivers. I also need to buy some ballscrews and nuts. I've not decided what to do about controlling the mill; linuxcnc or Mach3 software? I like the look of the Linux but I've not dabbled with it before. I'm also slightly tempted to use my Raspberry Pi. Many things to think about. :coffee: Any advice welcome! |
