    Hi All

    I'm a newby here and am just about to buy a Warco WM 14 and convert it to CNC to build some diving equipment.

    If there are any people in the Lincoln area who I can lean on for practical advice that would be amazing. Other than that I'll be posting about the conversion and the challenges I face as I face them.

    Hi Jools,

    have a look in the manufacturer forum. I do benchmount mills and am developing a CNC kit that will be plug and play in terms of hardware:

    Hi There

    Thanks for the response. I've had a look at that link but it's a bit pricey for my wallet.

    Jools, I have a WM14 and am considering a CNC conversion - just wondering if you went ahead and made the conversion?
    Thanks

    Hi Jools,

    Cheers

    Hi Steve
    I ended up just buying one that had been converted already. It was such a good deal and made me realise that it would allow me to start building stuff I wanted to build rather than building the machine.

    Hi Dave
    Thanks for getting in touch. What's your interest in CNC? Are you looking to build one or buy one or something?

    Hi I've had warco wm14 few months now and have decided iam going to covert mill but finding information is stuff warco dont have any kit for wm14 conversion but horizontal feed could easily done using arduino controler to give feed rates to servo motor and there is some available programs that with little tinkering would give adjustable feed rates like you adjust mill cutters speed and also give you micro adjustment ie if your couple of thousandth out just a case of adjusting code heres my email if you need to chat [email protected]
