    (Another) LMS SX2 Mini Mill CNC Conversion

    Hi, hope there's room for yet another SX2 CNC conversion thread. I bought the LMS Hi Torque 3900 mini mill over a year ago and am very happy with the machine. I always wanted/planned to convert it to CNC, but with no machining skills (at least not metal, lots of woodworking) it took a long time to learn the basics and get enough tooling in place to do anything serious. After reading and learning from the many build threads here, I also need to thank Hoss, DJBird, and many others on this forum--without their excellent work I wouldn't have known where to start. Anyway, this is going to be a sort of "catch up" thread as I am pretty far along on the build. I didn't do very well on documenting while I was doing the build, so I've been doing some catch-up, taking a lot of pictures and will cover what I've done to date, and then to completion of the project. The picture is of my mill, when it was brand new and clean, mounted on it's dedicated bench/flood table.
