    Chinese mill

    I have a chinese mill/drill as shown in the link below and i want to convert it to a hobby CNC.

    http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product...5&r=2043&g=106

    I know these machines are sold under different names all round the world and i wonder if anyone has converted one of these machines to CNC and if so could anyone supply details of their conversion.

    Wamna do it as cheap as possible. thanks

    Mr Bits,

    Visit Jeff Davis' site.

    He talks about the conversion of his mill drill. I think his is a larger model but the principles are the same. It will at least give you a starting place.

    I have a Busy Bee Mill/drill (Rong Fu knock-off) also, and would like to purchase a simple bolt on kit for it as my time is limited and can not afford to build from plans like Jeff's Plans from home cnc.

    I am going to email Jeff and ask about selling pre-fab'd kits???

    The only other company I have come across is CNCMasters.

    http://www.cncmasters.com/CNC%20Jr%20Mill.htm

    but I am hesitant to drop 5G's without looking at other guys out there that are offering kits for these mills. Does anyone know any other people selling kits for Rong Fu knock off's??????
