DMS,
As for the screws, yes CNCFusion indeed have the longer screws already set up for the longer axis in the X & Y directions. Which is what I am going to do and I don't believe that I will use the LoveJoy couplers either.
Just a thought, but you might want to buy a rotab rather than spend the money on the entire CNCFusion kit, excellent though it is.
Your mill together with a rotab (or maybe a boring bar, or even a hole saw), is quite capable of performing the necessary machining to make the parts for mounting the steppers.
Maybe a little simpler in design than the CNCFusion items, but just as functional and at a minimal cost in comparison.
Steve has been helping me greatly with my X1 conversion which is nearly finished and the design follows the 'KISS' principle, pics in a week or so.

P.S. I'm with you on the 'Lovejoys' )
