    > 4axis control box by Dan Mauch,
    > Motor brackets and ballscrew conversion by me. I also have covers, for the drives, but have them off for the moment.

    I can't tell if you have the same one as me or not. Your power switch is different. Is that the G1005?

    Mine is a G1006. I did ballscrews and it came out pretty nice using double nuts and modifying the existing moglice nuts to take them (.625 ball screw)..

    Yes, the 5/8" ball screws seems to be the de-facto size for the drill/mill. That is also what I used on my Enco.

    I went to the grizz catalog and the measurements are the same exept the size of your table is larger but has the same travel

    Mine has the same measurements as HomeCNC's enco so Im going with his plans to save the time of trial and error
