Alan, Drew,

Sorry, I've been away from the list off and on. Darn day job. Who
invented day jobs? I'd shoot'em.

No, I've taken a bunch of photo's of my conversion earlier but the project
has lost steam due to large paying jobs coming in. I'll dig out the photo's
and post a few. I also didn't want to take up too much file space if the
interest level was low. Dan Falck has indeed uploaded a few nice pics of his
conversion. He has a few more on a EMC related site somewhere. I think he
also has a few in the metalworking.com drop box. (Correct me if I am wrong.)
He has some pictures of his RF engraving etc.

I will do almost the same thing as Dan on my Z and x axis. Only Y is
radically different as I want to get more Y travel than stock. I think I will
coax an extra 1.5" inches out of it. That's if I get to it. Got all the parts
for the job, just need the time. I hope to use either Sanyo digital servo
drives and Camsoft's Cnc Lite or CNC Pro with Gecko 320 and some surplus
servo's. So many decisions.

I'll get some pics posted regardless.

Peter
