This is an EDM machine? (or just used as one?) My arm chair opinion is, converting an EDM is even worse than converting a manual mill. An EDM was never designed for mill loads. I would try to put this machine back to its original condition and use it as an EDM or sell it, and look for a $1k-$2k used CNC mill with a dead controller for milling. I don't want to get in the way of your fun, that's what hobbies are for, but it seems better to see things for what they are. http://www.hulu.com/watch/61320 -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
