CNC kit for bench mill.

[GummyMonster]

So over the summer I've been pondering the setup for my machines once I finally get it up and running, and I think CNC will be best. I have problems with my hands that cause trembling and jerky movements at times. I've been turning the hand wheels and I'm just not going to be smooth enough.
I've researched the conversations and I know how the system works, but to buy everything piece by piece will be hard as there's so many variables. Electronic systems are not something I've had much experience with.
I was browsing and found this - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000588951353.html
And it looks to me like exactly what I need.
I'd have 3 axis control for the milling machine, and another motor for a power feed on my lathe.I guess I'm hoping a package like this would work for me.

I posted this in the wrong sub forum, and looking through it I found my answers.
I should've looked harder.
Sorry.

I was thinking late last night, and I didn't think about writing all the G code?? Needed.
I think that would slow me way down.
Powerfeeds with manual control over them is a better option.
Guess I was kinda thinking out loud so to speak when I wrote this.

That's the beauty of putting things down on "paper". It helps us organize our thoughts and many times we figure it out along the way.

Power feed sounds like the perfect solution in your situation. I have a RF-30 close with power feed on the X-axis and covers 95% of the work I do.

Thanks Tom.
I think hand controlled power feeds will be best too.
Happy Holidays

With some of the CNC kits feed rate regardless of how jerky you are the software smooths things. That said, IMHO once you have CNC why do that???? A little programing and voila it does what you can't smoothly, while you catch up on posts at CHM.
