Seig X1 mill - Initial Conversion Design - pdfs

[jeffo2001]

Hi all,
I think I've got the preliminary mechanical design complete for converting
my X1 Micro Mill. Attached are some pdfs of the 3d model.

I'm using NEMA 23 steppers. A 5/8" rolled ballscrew for the Z axis and
the existing lead screws/nuts for the X & Y axis.

Should be ready to start cutting metal soon....

The PDFs look good.
Please post status and pictures as you progress with it.

Hi, im also converting a re-branded x1 but have trouble with all axis (mostly near the ends of the screws), may need a counter-weight for the Z axis. Where did you get your ball screw and was it expensive?

Im in England so if you know of a more local supplier that would be good.

Cheers

Shaun,

You may want to try sending him an IM or e-mail, as his last post in this thread was almost 2 years ago. ;-)
