Glad to see another G0720 headed for CNC.
Hi,
Glad to hear that someone else decided on the G0720 series mill. There are only two other G0720 mills being converted to CNC on this site. One belongs to Jeff(Velocirex) and the other is mine.
Both of our builds builds have stalled for pretty much the same reason; life. I see that you are considering using NEMA 34 motors for your conversion in the 800-900 oz-in range for both X and Y and 1200 oz-in for the Z. Good choices to be sure but going 1200 for all three will simlpify your power supply requirements. Unless, of course, you were planning on powering each motor individually.
If you have yet to buy your ballscrews, do yourself a favor and get 1605 ballscrews for the X. Saves you the trouble of having to grind the ball nut flange of a 2005 for clearance.
