RE: Grizzly - Re: consider resurrecting a dead CNC

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

It appears that whether I purchase from either CNCMaster or Cardinal,
or revive a dead CNC machine, I'm looking at a ballpark of $3500-5000.
In the long run that sounds like a good deal considering what it is
likely to allow me to accomplish, however it's still about twice what
I originally expected to pay (ignorance is bliss). Obviously, there is
more too this than just purchasing some stepper motors, a driver with
software and new ball screws (reality sucks).

BTW - I would love to acquire a full size machine and revive it,
however, I have a basement shop, making it impossible to relocate the
machine. Getting the 700 pound medium size mill down the steps in one
piece was an accomplishment in itself.

Steve
