I want a little CNC mill to compliment my medium sized CNC turning center. I am starting this thread to explore what parts would be nessicary to build a cnc mill. I encourage your opinions. If this is not fesible I will buy a a small CNC instead.
This is the mill I wanted to use. I see Ebay had a cnc kit that comes with 270oz in stepper motors connected to a driver board and the kit includes a power supply too.
I realize I can't machine a ballscrew I would just have to machine an acme thread for the Z axis. And then machine all of the necessary brackets and mounts. What do you think am I missing something?
