HMEM,
I used this small milling table from Grizzly for quite a while to do light milling on my drill press:
Now that I have a mill I was batting around the idea of re-purposing this table for use as a CNC engraver or for light milling. I'm looking for input as to why this would or wouldn't be worth the time and money.
The table has a travel window of 5.5"x9.5" and it's leadscrews (I believe) are 1/2"-10tpi. I was envisioning some type of gantry above it to hold either a dremel for engraving or some kind of small spindle.
Is this at all feasible...? I have no CNC experience so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
-J.Andrew
