Thread: Converting a Warco Mill to CNC

Stall detect only works after 300rpm so it's not such a big deal for a mill. But what is bigger deal is how they handle resonance better and give smoother running motors. The DQ860ma are not as good in my experience so I wouldn't use them over AM882 or better still the updated EM806.

You asked earlier on about drive belts.
Well this site from the UK seems to have almost anything you could want.

Thank you all for the advice and help relating to this conversion. Here is where ive got to so far. I have managed to create a mounting system for the x and y axis drives. I have three nema 34 1600oz stepper motors. I have a custom ball screw to drive the quill. What I need to complete is the quill drive system. Im hoping to use the 2 Axis CNC to help create the parts for the quill drive. Things having been moving slow due to problems that occurred with the Chinese supplier for the Stepper Motors.
I have attached a photo of the machine so far .
