Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Dyna-Myte 2400

John,

Thanks for the link, but I bet I can do a lot better than $3864.00 ahha
wants for their kit. I had a hard time justifing the $800.00 I spent on the
mill, I bet I'd be a single guy if my wife found out I paid $4000.00 for the
retrofit.

Servo motors - Free, I have them allready in my parts box
EMC - Free, that's what I use on my router, works great.
Geckos - Free if I take them off my router, $350.00 if I get new ones
Pulleys and belts - About $100.00
Motor mounts - Free if I make them myself.
Misc wire, connectors etc. $50.00

Worst case scenario $500.00, and this would be a servo machine, not stepper.

Bill
