Weiss WMD25LV (Amadeal) CNC convertion

[StevenT]

Hi. I am looking to convert my Weiss WMD25LV (Amadeal AMD25LV) to CNC, I have no experience in this type of conversion and am hoping for some guidance or has someone performed this conversion and is willing to share the details.

All the best Steve

This is what i plan on doing at my work bench, tv monitor on the wall with a keyboard below and all the electronics in the lower shelf. The machine is by no means accurate to the real thing but the rough dimensions are correct.

Maybe you could use a monitor bracket like this;

Yes I could, I would like the monitor out of the way so coolant doesn't splash on it. That is tidy but I am a very minimalistic person :D
