Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

Have you done a conversion on yours or are you using as a manual mill?

I have a Weiss 30 and it is a great mill. It looks like the motor controller has been upgraded on yours because you have heatsink fins on the back of the control box and I don't.

You will like the mill and it is heavier that it looks. I haven't pulled the head but it is nothing like a RF45 head which I can lift by myself on a good day. If you remove the spindle first it should not be too heavy.

The 570 steppers will be fine for the X and Y, if you want a little more power for the Z get the 4mm pitch screw for the z and you will be fine with the 570 OZ stepper.

The Y travel is fairly good on the 30 but the slide could go a bit more forward but it already over travels a fair amount. you could cut 3/4" or so with not much fuss.
