Looking for some insight on what series to convert to cnc, which one is
better series 1 or 2. I intend to use Ajax retro but not sure what series is the best for the retro. any help would be great.

I have both types, a series II has box way construction on the "Y" axis which is ideal for a CNC. So this would be your

best choice for your retrofit.

Thanks, does any of them have ball screws

Series II all the way. It's twice as heavy, more rigid, has ballscrews on the NC version, and has a 4hp head.

I don't have a Series II, but that's the way I would go knowing what I know now.
