I recently purchased a JET JMD18 and would like an inexpensive way to
make it full CNC. Is this a worth while project? Inexpensive
contollers like FROG won't make curves. I need to purchase
stepper/servos and a controller. Prefeably PC based. Any comments?
Looks straight forward, but this will be my first CNC. I am failiar
with programming CNC punch presses and lasers (the big stuff) but I
want to
be able to automate my small/mill drill at home.
Thanks,
Wally
