Re: How to install motors into a Grizzly or Enco Milling CNC?

Hi Jose,

I'm in the middle of converting my Enco Drill/Mill to CNC. I'm just
about to finalize the design in CAD to fit ballscrews and servo motors
to the machine. With the help of this group you will learn plenty. I
know I have. You can check out my progress by going to the link
below.
