Small CNC surface ginder?

[ecotectoo]

I'm looking for a small CNC surface grinder for making reeds. The largest blank I expect to cut is 2"x6" and have little shop space. The smallest one I can find is the Syil U2.

Are there others out there? I've searched around a bit but can't seem to come up with anyone who'd convert an automatic SG to CNC.

And what about software to run a CNC SG? Suggestions? I expect to start from a 2D CAD profile so will need suggestions on how to turn that into g-code as well as whatever controller would use that to run the machine.

I would personally buy this unit, add stepper motors from HomeShopCnc

run them with the new Gecko 540 (4axis controller) being developed,

and use Mach 3 software to control it

The actual conversion and wiring would be a matter of asking and viewing ongoing threads of others here on CNCZone.

But that's just me...
