my build can finally begin, though, i still need to get a DTI:idea:lol

hoss.. or anyone else; since it comes with a belt drive, do you or anyone else make a spindle pulley to get a safe speed increase?

Well since you're the first member that's posted on here that will actually have one in the US,
No one has done the pulley change yet.
Post pics when you get it and some measurements of the stock pulleys
and we'll figure out what it needs to get you going.

Looks like Frank can update his SX2 Review to include Micro-Mark.

Been six months since he did, he could include your belt mod later.

i remember reading that review about that long ago.

[HellPhish]

interesting, the headstock/column and base are being shipped separately.

[TroyO]

I think I saw somewhere that they do that so UPS will take it.

The pulleys and belt on the SX2 review page look like HTD5, better pics would help.
Prolly a 5000 rpm motor?
going 1:1 should equal 5000 at the spindle.
easiest way would be to mount a 40T on the motor with a longer belt.
could go 30:30, looks like there would be enough meat to bore a 30 out to fit the spindle.
heading to work, can't get into much more right now.

vvery first cuts, ever. no tramming or anything (i know i know). 9/16 2 flute mill was used

[HellPhish]

well, it recommends a max of a 1/2" end mill... screw that... i went for the gusto and hooked up a 2 flute 3/4" end mill. it took it like a champ

[HellPhish]

a few more pics. i took the x axis apart and the ways seem to be machined. im trying ot figure how to get rid of the little wobble it has. the y axis is nice, tight, and smooth.
