Grizzly - Re: consider resurrecting a dead CNC

Sounds like you have the machine.

There are lots of stories of $5,000.00 or less conversions. I'm not
sure these count all the little stuff. I'm amazed at the cost of the
little stuff adding up. Enclosures, switches, wire, pulleys, belts,
nuts, bolts, fans, raw materials, tools to build the tools. So.....if
you are working to a budget I would advise a healthy "contingency"
factor for all that stuff. I'm sticking all my receipts in a
folder. 'Bout Christmas when I might be done I'll have to total it
all up.

They have electrical enclosures that usually have swtiches and stuff
in them. I got a big one for the computer and electrical that had
three times the price worth of "stuff" in it and I'm using a lot of
it. Best buy of the whole project.

Still this is fun and I learn a lot.
