I really like your comment at the end of this video. Learning priceless.
I myself have a King Canada PDM-30 mill drill wich is actually a Rung Fu RF-30 mill with 900oz/inch steppers and mach 3. Nice job. I like your stuff and I build industrial machines for a livng. Keep up the good work and remember that PC's where invented in a backyard garage.
Very nice! I am continually amazed at American Ingenuity. Look up climb milling vs conventional milling... for a first part you are doing great!! Keep up the good work...
The tooling plate is something I made from a large piece of alumininum plate I had. I drilled and then tapped evenly spaced holes. I do not have a website, but you can find lots of CNC conversion information at CNCZone.
Also in the Yahoo groups for CNC machines ie. the Mach group and Gecko group
This was my first attempt at CNC. One good source of Info is the Yahoo Mach3Mach3 group as well as the Gecko group. I chose to go with a Kit, wich is not the cheapest way to go, but it was the quickest. Plan for ~ $1000 to ~$1500 for the CNC plus SW (mach 3) CAD and CAM another $400 to $800 depending on choices
Very cool

I'm thinking about converting mine as well. What CAD/CAM are you running?
