dear maneger
my best wishes to this grate site for the grat sucses.
I am one of the very interested pepole whith this marvelos site.
I have a small idea and I dont knew if it is posibel or not.
I have a milling machine as many others have but there are meny difrances
in power or work aria you knew that. so whith out nolege in electronics I coudn't choose any devices to convert it to cnc machine for example
the stepper motors how can I calculate the force and insure that the power will be good to finsh my work pice strongly and whithout any harme to the motors, or the controll unit driver, which is a sensetive circuts it might be blowup. any way every one want's to have a hevy duty machine acording to the size of his machine.so a refrance to how to convert acording to the size will be amazing also whith a small comparing between the several products will be grate.
of course you have get the large idea and how to arrange it under a new corner titel in the site and I hope that will be usefull for all.
best regards.
