Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Rong Fu 31 CNC Conversion Kit / Instructions / Help? :D

Bubba,
Would the rong fu basically be the same as an enco
model? I've got an enco I bought years ago (10 or
so?) that I'd like to get turned over to cnc as soon
as I get my plasma up and rolling.. starting to watch
for parts now for it. Hooking up the 3 phase for it
now (should be finished tomorrow) and figued I'd run z
off of the micro feed as well. This cnc stuff sure is
intriguing!
Any tips of what would be better or what not to do
would be appreciated on my end as well!
