Completely new to all this...

Hello everyone,

I am completely new to all this CNC stuff.

I would like to find out a bit about converting a chinese mill/drill
to CNC operation. I don't don't have anything at the moment.

I am aware that I would need a PC, stepper controller board, power
supply(???) and stepper motors. Would Nema size 34 stepper motors
work (well) with a mill/drill machine? Would a Xylotex 4-axis
controller be able to control size 34 motors (is the amperage etc
correct)? What kind of power supply do you need?

Are there any other reasonable (cheap...) controller boards around
that would work and what could I do if I wanted to control the
spindle and coolant from the computer?

Sorry that I am asking so many questions which probably
seem 'stupid', but I've got to start somewhere...

Thanks in advance
Warren
