Hi,
For me it's a hobby, I have a very little mill. A chinese X1, and the cnc conversion is not finished. It's to do steam, items for my bike, etc...

i think we'll see Chinese dreams in future Too
what've u done with ur machine? installed motors and making controler?
if u want i can show using l297 for unipolar steppers (but not a choper drive, just s simple and easy one)
what about lead screws , will u replace them with ballscrews for accuracy?
