I started to convert my Mini X2 to CNC, Here are some photos with explanations if there are any input all will be reviewed:
This is what I started with
This is the start of the upgrade
This is the conceptional drawing of the mill upgrade: Using Autodesk Fusion 360, Got a lot of information from "Shooter" this was very helpful to get me started.
The lower one is the new mill table, the top one is LMS large table. I do model trains and I need the larger surface to work on.
This is the new mounts for the table, The base plate is 1"x12"x12" will be bolted to mill base with 6 counter sunk screws M8. The top plate is 3/4"x6"x24 to mount the table too. I am using parallel rails, the table will have 2/3rd's of its wait on the center of the mill base if I did that right....
If there are any comments I sure would like to hear them good-bad-&-ugly, yes I am new at this. This has been a real learning curve for me. I have a good friend in NV that has been helping me out by emails and it really has helped.
