Well, I've done it now! I ordered a PM-932M for a CNC conversion. Thank you Ray C. for working with me during the sales process. I've been in the machining business my entire career so I've got the background in manual machining but have no experience with CNC. The learning curve will be with the electronics, associated software, and CAD. Been reading about conversions and I've decided to approach it in the same manner as jumps4 (Steve) did with his conversion, e.g. direct drive, 1600 oz in motors for X and Y, 4200 oz in motor for Z, one shot lube system, and Chinese control/drive electronics. I'm going to start with the mechanical conversion phase first and save the electronics for last. My thought is that the control side will be fresh in my mind when it comes time to start up and trouble shoot. Of course I'm going to lean on all of you for your insight as I move through the conversion. It will be challenging but I'm up for it. Can't wait to get started.
