Now this!
Here's what was next for me...

> 4axis control box by Dan Mauch,
> Motor brackets and ballscrew conversion by me. I also have covers, for the drives, but have them off for the moment.

I can't tell if you have the same one as me or not. Your power switch is different. Is that the G1005?

Mine is a G1006. I did ballscrews and it came out pretty nice using double nuts and modifying the existing moglice nuts to take them (.625 ball screw)..

Yes, the 5/8" ball screws seems to be the de-facto size for the drill/mill. That is also what I used on my Enco.
