Hi everybody
I'm new in this forum and I've been reading the posts for some weeks already. I would like to know if the following machines are suitable for a CNC conversion if not then why not? Reading other posts I managed to tick some specifications for the conversion however I'm still not 100% sure.
The first one is the Amadeal AMAT45FG ,1.5KW , is this suitable? I would like to convert the 3 axis, and if my budget allows then 4 axis. What I'm mainly not sure about is choosing the right servos for it, ( I think the servo for Z axis has to be much stronger?). I read in a post that would be better to replace the USB connection for Ethernet, if so would someone recommend me a good breakout board? Also I'm not sure how to choose the right ballscrews and if I need to fit gibs into the table.
My second option would be the Warco GH18.
Thanks for reading my post, and great forum you guys have here.
