ok so I noticed that this board was for both the mini lathe and mini mill yet there was not a single post about a mini mill so I figured I would start one. If this isn't the right place feel free to let me know and move this thread as needed.
As the title says I now have a Taig mini mill done in full cnc including 4th axis and trunion table, using Gekco 540 controller. Motors are 280oz steppers.
I purchased it fully setup and ready to run through deepgroove1. com now to me there are a few items that need changed. The 4th axis mount is pretty much unusable (it's a sherline made) then the table for the Taig seams a lot smaller than it really should be as it's only 3.5" wide and yet the tooling can reach around 6" wide.
OK so thats the basic so far and I plan on doing a lot of other upgrade. and I guess I'll document them here. I will take pics and upload everything I can. I welcome input on everything.
planed upgrades so far.
Now larger work table.
4the axis mounting setup
extended travel in all directions
coolant system
quick change tooling
Auto tool changer with tool setter.
DC spindle motor
full enclosure with lighting.
