Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] source for cnc conv hardware...RF31 mill/drill

Hi Eric,

I too have an RF-31 mill that I will eventually retrofit to CNC. So
far, only an old Sears/Sherline mill. Cardinal Engineering sounds
familiar, but I don't have a URL. Jeff (AKA CADMAN) has converted a
very similar ENCO mill:

http://24.12.163.105/cnc/

I think he made his own mounts (why not, he's got a mill!).

Where is Cardinal? I found this for North Carolina:

Cardinal Engineering Corp.
Cary, (919)460-8778, cec@...

I haven't called them. I'd be curious to hear what you find out.
