Hi All
I need some help please regarding the conversion of a pillar drill to a mill. I know this isnt the best base for a mill but I need a machine to build the proper router.

I recently bought 2 meat slicing machines from a scrapyard so have the rails and motors for the X Y table.

My first question is if the 120N-cm Vexta steppers driving a 2mm leadscrew will be strong enough?

And since the spindle has no through hole i cant fit a collet chuck and draw bar, so what is the best solution for minimum run out?

As I said I dont need this to be fast but would like it to be accurate.

Thanks in advance
Ross
