mini mill

[dallen]

this thread started off with me tearing my mini mill apart to fix the slop in the y axis and ended up with me redoing all the slides on the mill and a couple other surfaces, mill works a heck of a lot better now then it did when I first got it. I may of or may not of mentioned that I had already changed the thing from the plastic gears that were in it to metal gears in the hi low section of the transmission for a better word to explain the gear train. These of course were removed in due course and a belt drive of my making was installed to get rid of the noisy gear drive, plus it still had one plastic gear that hadn't been replaced with a metal one.

I had thoughts of CNC on the table or at least of a homemade table drive that could eventually be upgraded to my RF45, Wholesale Tool ZX45.

So I started gathering up some stepper motors and stuff and basically put it on the back of the shelf, or arm of the couch for a year or so. Well I got the stuff out the other day and this is what has happened.
