The question is, are you going to become anal about backlash and go for true zero? I know I did. Also retaining the handles and dials on X and Y was a pain but I am ever so glad I did :heehee:

Admire you folks a lot.
A man has to ask himself, would I be happy with my circles 15um out due to backlash? It is very nice when digi calipers occasionally measure the finished job as something.00mm
I'd suggest starting with a crude CNC conversion, get it cutting, identify the problem areas. Then do the pukka job with the benefits of CNC and make it beautiful.
