While this was interesting it may well be one of the least usable or informative videos on the subject. Please just add narration for idiots like myself.
The stepper mounts are beautiful….
Some other conversions use a gearbox or belt drive. Have you been happy with having the steppers directly driving the screws?
Hi Rodger, I am just waiting on my mini mill (King) to arrive in Canada. Once it arrives I will be joining your Patron channel. I have built a aluminum frame CNC already and I have a extra 4 axis card. As well as 2 extra stepper motors. So it seems inevitable that this will happen.
But lets say One didn't have stuff already. To add a DRO to these. Do you think "For the money" investing in steppers and cheap controller card is the wise choice? Since you get a DRO on the computer. You can use a wireless controller to control the X-Y-Z.
Although, the manual dial controls are probably not able to be used with the steppers powered?
Hi Roger, I would like to purchase the complete plans for the X2 mini-mill and C3 lathe. How do I do that?

How do you like the belt drive? I haven't completed the install for having an older, smaller-diameter spindle.
Roger, jakiego typu aluminium zastosowałeś?Ja używam AW 7075(PA 9) lub AW 2017(PA6) wydaje mnie się że twoje aluminium jest trochę za miękkie , i nie za dobrze się obrabia ?
Roger, what type of aluminum did you use? I use AW 7075 (PA 9) or AW 2017 (PA6) I think your aluminum is a bit too soft and it doesn't work well?
Hi Roger, i was watching all the parts of the mill conversion that time and it is still nice and interessting to see it again.
Beautiful!
Wonderful, did notice you talk in video :). Will there be video with voice over?
You're quite an engineer.
Love this channel
So you need a big mill and lathe, and an aluminum capable CNC machine to make parts for the small CNC conversion?
First ? ?
