    eBay CNC 3axis kit

    Look up hossmachine. There is alot of info on the conversion. Mine was nowhere near 150$ though. http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/g0704-kit/cnc-stepper-motor-3-axis-kit That's the one I use. But I think the 380oz is the minimum recommendation for it. Anything else I can...

    Thanks Pete. Tried looking up the mill and can't find much. Priced out his CNC components as well and it seems pretty pricey. He's already dropped it 600$ in the last 2 days

    2 x 72 grinder wheel

    Thanks Geoff, here is the link for the wheel set. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Complete-Belt-Knife-Grinder-Wheel-Set-5-Drive-5-8-4-Tracking-2-Idler-Wheels-/231396771672?hash=item35e0528758:g:GnIAAOxyF0pTfi1M think there are a couple cheaper ones out there now but that a rough idea.

    2 x 72 grinder wheel

    I just looked at what was out there and built it myself. Not really much welding. There are what's called no weld grinders out there that are just all bolted together but this was easier for me to tack a bunch of square tubing make sure everything lined up.

    Thanks for the input guys. A lot to digest lol I think i'll just keep looking around. Been looking at the grizzly website as well and the G0704 seems to be about the same price with freight and exchange. A unit roughly this size would be ideal considering I could move it around the shop if...
