Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Sherline CNC retrofit

Hi Jan,

Yes, I've seen some small ones in BSA (If that's the company local to me
in San Jose), but I think getting the NUT assembly into the Sherline
ways would be difficult if not impossible without extensive rework.
It'd probably be easier to machine up new ways, a new base and Z axis
(Sherline size) made expressly FOR these small ball screws.
