Thread: sieg X1 micro Mill
29/03/2010 21:51:42
Peter, John, have loads of photo;s and drawings, i'm still busy designing and converting my x1, its going to be a long term project dont get loads of time at it. this site isn't very friendly so if you send me your email address i'll send you a brief description of what i'm doing and photo's / drawings. I have not went to ballscrews as this was a trial machine, i want to do the same to an x3, this was just a means to an end and a cheap way of testing out mach3 and steppers
cheers

Thread: Just starting

Hiya all
i've just signed up to the sight and am just looking about.
My main interest is CNC machines, used to work in the industry many years ago on the control systems, now as a hobby am going to have a go doing a few machine retrofits for fun, not sure what i'm going to use the machines for just like machines.
Have just converted a Warco Mini Mill to three axis just to try out mach 3, it seems to work ok but i'm running it off a laptop and missing a few pulses to the steppers, next stage is get a desktop as recomended and once the positioning is ok will move onto something bigger, I have a Warco Major mill and a Warco VM250 lathe i am thinking about converting.
If anyone has any convertions in hand would be interested to hear about their experiences.
Well off to browse the sight
cheers
John
