New bearings and a belt conversion kit made things much smoother and quieter as well. found his spindle runout was way out of spec, even for a Chinese mill. While they call them “conversion kits” there is still quite a bit of DIY ingenuity required to get a system like this going. added a Flashcut CNC conversion kit to his mill. He started with a Grizzly G0704, which is small compared to a standard knee mill, but still plenty capable of milling steel. wanted a stout machine capable of milling metal. We start with and Grizzly G0704 CNC Conversion. This week’s Hacklet is all about some of the best CNC projects on Hackaday.io! The term is usually applied to machine tools, which cut, engrave, or perform other operations on wood, plastic, metal and other materials. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is the art of using a computer to control movement. Making things move is like a those gateway drug – it leads to bigger things like robots, electric cars, and CNC machines. It’s only a short jump from blinking LEDs to making things move. More than just pixels on a screen, the LED is tangible. There’s something about seeing wires you connected and the code you wrote come together to make something happen in the real world. It’s become the de-facto “Hello World” of hardware hacking. Everyone’s first microcontroller project is making an LED blink.
