How to convert a Grizzly 1006 Mill to CNC

on 2007-10-18 07:29:12 UTC
Hello,

I spent the better part of 2 hours looking for a kit or HOWTO on this
subject and I found out that it is very expensive, not an easy
project and or simply very little information about it.

I am looking information of others that have done this conversion
with this machine or like machines/clones etc. Let me also say that I
can make all the motor mounts, motor coupling etc and I have motors
and a controller and some software products to drive it.

I recall a mod that was done that simply coupled the motors in place
of the cranks and others use offset mounts with drive belts. Pros and
cons would good information to have too.

I dunno for sure how accurate the mill is in a manual process is in
the first place, so that is a concern going that route. I personally
do small projects like motor mounts, transmission mounts etc for
motorcycles. However I would like to perform pocketing too for things
like right angle gear boxes etc. So eventually I would think ground
precision screws are in order. I am no expert at this so I wanted to
drop a few lines to the experts.

Many thanks in advance.

Todd
