I have been pursuing a mill equipted with Proto trak controls for several years and still come up empty. In the search I found my current BP mill that has been retrofitted with ball lead screws and an aftermarket variable speed head and larger motor. What drew my attention to this mill was the two stepper motors that were attached to X and Y handles. My new job has a newer proto trak SMX bed mill and no one knows how to use it. The owner bought it thru an online auction sight unseen for less than $5000 . I can only wish to find such a great deal like that. It's like jumps4 said, you got to love CNC Now I just need to find one for the shed.....
