Another RF45 clone cnc inspired by the contributors on cnc zone
Hi everybody, this is my first post on this forum.
I have started the process of converting my small manual mill to cnc, and will try to post as many pictures as I can along the way. I hope that it will serve as an inspiration to anybody considering the task of converting a machine, and hopefully we can get enough information and ideas included to help each other out in the same way that I have picked up so much information from the other builds on this forum.
Please feel free to comment on the progress, comments, ideas and positive criticism go a long way to prevent costly mistakes!
Regards Steven

looks like you've got a bit of cleanup work ahead of you too :p
Keep us posted. These are very capable little machines when done correctly.

Steven,
I'm glad to see your machine cleaned up so well. In the first picture you posed it looked kinda rusty, but I guess it was mostly grime.
What type of axis motors do you plan to use, and what control software?
Looking forward to following your build. Everyone seems to take a different route with these machines so there is always a lot to be learned. I hope you have as much fun with this build as I have had with mine!

Hi Steven
Looking good. Keep the updates coming.
I have also started a conversion on an original Rong Fu 25, 1976 year model with round post.
