My machine has Rolled Ball Screws from Roton it holds about .003" tolerance. All three screws and nuts cost about $150 total but the screws had to be cut and machined which my 7x lathe wasn't up tot he task. That's plenty good enough tolerance for the crawler parts I make. I also have 4.9" of y travel instead of the stock 4.1. My conversion wasn't a Kit. I followed the plans on this site. http://www.hossmachine.info/cnc_conversion.html Here's my build thread on cnczone. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/bencht...%3B_one-1.html CNCFusion makes a kit for the X2 / SX2 most people really like the x and y setup but don't care for the Z as it covers the gib adjustment and is off to the side of the head. The Z setup on mine makes the machine tall but it keeps the ballscrew away from the swarf. Last edited by MystRacing; 09-16-2011 at 06:31 PM. |

The LMS kit was Side Z which was... Eh in my book. That said nothing is near perfect ever What driver board/power supply? I'm getting a G540 and a 48V power supply to replace my stock Sherline board that mysteriously went AWOL |

Gotcha! I got the g540 on order and the power supply is next. Due to my 20 TPI leadscrews I'm running the stock motors for now it will be nice to actually make stuff |
