He was very upset and had to have a lie down to recover from the shock. now a day late he feels much better as he found their wil which had bequeath to him 1 million pounds.

I have the WM18 and now would like to fit power feed to Y axis Has anyone done this Yes but not to a WM18, though I believe that its is a Chinese clone of an Optimum BF20, which my mill is.
I used a car window screen wiper motor and a tumbler gear to provide left, neutral and right traverse. I run mine from a variable voltage power supply usually at about 5 or 6 volts taking less than 2 amps.
