i own an emco f1 and i want to change the controller and maybe the motors as well. i'm wondering if anyone has experience with controllers that might fit well for this small 3 axis mill. also should i stay with the stock stepper motors, upgrade them or go for servo motors? will it be worth the trouble?  |

| The magazine "Digital Machinist" (or possibly the sister magazine "Home Shop Machinist") had a series on refitting the F1. Check that out for some good info. Info on back issue purchase can be found at www.homeshopmachinist.net J |
