Converting a X2 clone to CNC

[Shawn]

Its cool watching the machine work, almost as good as watching a shaper.

I have done a bit of work on my mill. The bracket that attaches to the head was slipping a little when the direction changed, no matter how tight I turned the three cap head bolts. I decided to just add another bracket, that seems to have worked. I also rigged up an airline for blowing chips out of the way. It does a great job of cooling the end mill as well, I tried it in some aluminium with no WD40 and it worked well.
