I similarly did the SX2.7 - long table version. One word of warning the SX range have the DC brushless motor which causes a problem getting the spindle under NC control - so the S2.7 might be easier. Nice machine once you get it under stepper control.
Most of the mini bench mills have common ancestry within the Chinese foundries... just different paint jobs.

Hi Clive,
I have just joined mycncuk.
I am new to CNC but have done quite a bit of research on the web
I have a warco wm16 (plus adequately equipped home workshop)
I am planning to convert my warco wm16 to cnc, but I would not know where to start.
Usually people know someone else who knows how to do it and they learn "on the job" whilst that person helps/guides them through it, but I know no one n that field of expertise.
I note that you have converted a wm18, which is the bigger brother to my wm16.
My technical ability is reasonably good, so I think I am up to the job of doing the way once I know how to actually do it.
There are plenty of youtube videos, etc... but none that take you step by step and explain how to actually design, make all the required parts and put it all together with all teh appropriate tolerances, etc...
I have done quite a bit of research on the web, and I understand in principle how it all work and fits together, but I have no idea on how to actually do the whole conversion.
How would you recommend that I go about the whole thing from A to Z in my home workshop ?
Many thanks Clive
