What is the Total Cost of Conversion (Excluding the Mill)

[dazp1976]

Hey Jazz

Aluminium, engineering plastics and some mild steel - I imagine the most common will the aluminium though. I had considered changing the main drive after the CNC to get higher speed and more constant torque

Thanks

There may be a Warco WM18 on ebay ending soon (same sizes as WM32 I believe). Not sure on condition but states low use.
It's downfalls are MT3 taper and gear driven.
Looks in need of a right good clean but also means it might go cheap!.

MT3 no problem unless thinking tool changers or quick change as it's not that easy to release tools via drawbar unlike R8.
Gear driven may be easy enough to belt convert later.
Plenty info about that when searching G0704 belt conversion (25 size machine). Similar process, smaller size.
