Want to start locating parts for my RF-31 conversion, that I may start next year.

Getting really confused on what to use for cnc conversion?

Most of the guys here go with steppers and are pretty much satisfied with their results. As far as drivers, gecko seems to be a favorite as you have probely read. The accuracy will come from the ballscrew/ballnut and bearing combination and of cource all of that is driven by your projects.

There have been a couple of good posts on cncing the RF31 to follow as example and you will pick up some good insights on how and why some thing were done a certain way.

Welcome aboard,

Ron

Thanks for the reply! I've read the posts on the RF31 & RF25.

I've also PM'd a couple of the members about specific questions and got quick response.

Everyone's been great!

Thanks again,
