Tongil Milling machine ?

Its really not as complicated as you may think. To summarize: This is in very crude basic form. Bear in mind ive not had the cover off this thing in 3 years plus.

The quill handle and mechanism will have to be removed (rack and pinion set up)
Slot in the head casting to allow access to the quill.
Bracket attaches to the quill via the 'vertical' slot. This bracket also contains the ball nut. The ball screw is mounted externally of the head fixed top and bottom (obviously) a timing pulley it attached to the top of the ball screw, then the motor is mounted in close proximity to the head timing belt transfers the motion to the screw.

I will say this type of set up is using a servo with integral encoder so the controller has full feed back, how this works if using steppers with no feed back you will have to work out.


Kind regards,

Hi Dudz,

Sorry for the delay, being a small business owner i had to fit this is when i had time.

Here are the images as promised, one is slightly zoomed so you see the detail of how the ball nut is attached to the quill.







Kind regards
