@ Neomoses....My last conversion was a RongFu45....servos of course. Great mill and a good recommendation,but not exactly cheap for the average hobbiest.
I still say that a small mill is the best investment for someone who wants to start out. And my Grizzly may have only cost me $500, but it is a very accurate POS......maybe I just lucked up and got one that was shipped out when the little 93 Yr. old lady thats usually on QC, was on her day off!
Some people have the patience, determination and can pick up machining quite easily. While others may not be able to get the gist of it. Saying that, as a hobby,I think it would be best to make a small purchase and see if its your bag, before you start investing thousands of dollars in a large mill/ tooling to begin with.
Youre right about spending all of you time machining.......once you finish that first peice, and marvel at its beauty that youve created,its all over with!
I was hooked when I did my first dry cut when testing the mill out, to see if I hooked it all up correctly.......Ive been looking at converting a Bridgeport clone myself, but my wife isnt too keen on the idea.
Hmmm........the wife or the big mill?? Hmmmmmm...........
Later fellas.........and good luck
