Re: Z axis drive

Hey guys,

I'm interested in getting one of these mills and setting it up with
cnc control as well. I'm just starting my research into it. Can
you point me in the right direction? Is there a good repository of
information on converting these mills someplace? I haven't found it
yet but then I'm just starting. I've heard a good number of people
have converted this mill I hope that the collective knowledge is
collected somewhere.

Any help is appreciated, Mike
