Hi Robin,

I have read this thread (more than once) on the work you carried out converting your Warco Major to CNC.

I too have the same machine and I am contemplating doing the same thing. (but I am new to the CNC field, but do have some local backup on seting up using Mach3 etc)

I do have a couple of questions for you that are specifc to this conversion, if you would be so kind.


Was the overall expendature and effort worth it, in terms of the usefullness of the machine when finished?

I am perticularly interested in the Z axis arangement you came up with. How is that working out for you now?

Which motors and controllers did you finally go with and on what voltage do you run them. Do still you consider them to be the correct choice?

With hindsight, is their any aspect of the project you would change and why?
