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

Hi Dan,

Sounds like a GREAT LIST! Put me down for one too!

Remember that this conversion requires mostly custom parts! You'll have to
make the brackets and supports for the timing belt pulleys, bearings, and
stepper or servo motors.

The leadscrews will have to be end-machined. The brackets may have to be
custom measured if you want to use some of the existing holes for the
currently mounted thrust bearing mounts. They typically weren't drilled
that accurately.

No, I don't have a list either. I DO have the mill, and it's getting quite
tempting to convert it to CNC.

Anyone putting in a LOT of effort on a conversion like this is apt to want
(and rightly so) charge for a list/kit like this!

CNC Master has obviously done a lot of work on this!
