Sieg X2 convertion advice

[craigrobbo]

Hi craig

limited funds...
i know the feeling, i would have to admit that im in the same sort of situation. although those x2 mills have been converted by countless people and there is a hell of alot of information available regarding cnc conversions

first of all i think some more info would be useful

1) is it a standard x2 or another variant (eg sx2p etc)?
2) how confining is your budget?
3) do you have access to a lathe?

Hi there.

Its actually the Clarke variant but is identical to the base.model x2. Just colour.

Budget is actually non assistant so I'm scraping the penny jar as I go
I do own a small lathe, a hobbymat md65

Preferably either ball screw or some kind of anti backlash for the current screws is ideal

Thanks in advance
