Re: Looking to pull the CNC conversion trigger
Some good and bad of an update. I was able to get the axis all moving again and even made a part with the machine about 2 weeks ago. Thinking things were good to go, I attempted another part yesterday where the Y axis stalled at times and seemed jumpy. The gib on the Y axis didn't have a square shoulder for the adjustment screw to push against so I figured when the table hung out too far that it was popping out of place and binding. After grinding a better notched shoulder on it and replacing it, things worked better but only briefly. I was loosing Y axis steps and was seeing that during my adaptive roughing routine taking too large of a stepover after coming back around. So basically there's still electrical gremlins to sort out. I'm going to blame the connections at the rear of the controller box and try to bypass them next going straight from the drivers to the motors.
Here's the machine the other weekend making a sample part to weld just to see how it turns out.

Odd you're having issues, unless you have some corrosion/solder connections that have vibrated loose. But I also understand putting it off. You've put a ton of work into it! Looks great!

Re: Looking to pull the CNC conversion trigger
The solder connections and questioning of the plug connection quality where things pass out of the control box is what I'm questioning. These hybrid motors have a vga style 15 pin connector coming off the encoder so im thinking of getting extensions for them, then a panel mount connector for the box, and run another short extension to the drivers. This would allow me to get rid of the solder connections and have screw mounted plugs at each connection.
Example of panel mount:
