I would hope the mechanics of the machine are able to handle the milling of wax. I would doubt that you can do serious milling of aluminum without flexing it, which would reduce accuracy. But this...

Exactly. It's highly awesome to build the machine's successor on it.

Well thanks guys. Guess I'll might just have to order it to find out :/ I will consider ballscrew conversion in the long run but for now I'm more interested in a quick fix, if someone has the answers...

I'm thinking of buying a g0704 and converting it to CNC. This would give me larger travels than my Taig. I would like to start with a simple conversion that retains the stock leadscrew. What I'd like...

Nah, the problem isn't the Z travel headroom, it's the throat depth -- how far the spindle center is from the Z axis leadscrew. This doesn't change during operation. The throat depth could in theory...

Well, I tried it. Used a buddy to put my thing down on the table really gently. No obvious signs of breakage or deformation. The motors seemed to jog this weight around without problems. I don't have...

I need to put 80 lbs on my Taig mill (it's the larger "2019" version). It's either that or buy a bigger machine. Frankly, I'm not sure I can afford to buy a bigger machine. Has anyone loaded up...

I've been very happy with my CNC taig so far, but lately I'm worrying that the stock waycovers may not be enough for what I'm doing on it. Specifically, I've been doing isolation routing of circuit...
