no problem, I have only now hooked up cnc to a sherline mill, and
I'm looking around for every other place where I can mount a
motor...just getting carried away, I guess...

I haven't used this thing of mine, but having the vertical is worth
it for drilling...I'm so excited...

I hope your conversion goes well, let us all know as you go along,

I was wondering, with your more sophisticated machine, if you were
using feed back position sensors, --that's what I was refering to.

take care - happy holidays
