Looking into converting my Mill to CNC

[dazp1976]

thanks guys for all the input.
i did look on ebay at the electronics, as you say you can get the kit for less then £200. but the sellers are either hong kong or china.
now i bought a few things before from sellers in china, but what if a stepper fails or there is a problem.... posting stuff back to china isnt going to be cheap and turn around takes longer then in the uk.

My kits are from Wantai or longs:

Nothing has broke and had them 2 years. The lower the inductance of the motors the better.
Personally wouldn't touch anyone else if you want to get the kits at a good price.

Zapp have some nice looking 570oz ish nema 23 though.
Oh and I use a cheap £5 5 axis bob & Mach3 with my mill.
