Good Job. I have converted the slightly bigger casting than this, the 25 size. I wouldn't do it again, these machines are not rigid enough. Two notes: 1) the Z mount is not rigid enough. When you put it together you will find out that you will have backlash, tha ballscrew mount will move on you. 2) Did you install angular contact /thrust bearings in the BK/FK mounts? Myself, I made two opposing flats on the ballscrews so that I can tighten the retaining nut properly.

We do kits for the 48 , 30,28 and now the 20 , backlash is not a issue when using proper angular contact bearing rather than the std chinese ball bearings , and good quality duel balkscrew nuts. Yes none of the little benchtop mills are rigid comparison to a proper VMC , and bigger us better but for doing light duty work they perform quite well . My recommendation to customers us to get the biggest machine they can afford but most already own a mill so convert that.

@@tomahawkcnc5583 Fair enough. I didn't know you make kits, I will take a look. The backlash on the point (1) I wrote, in my case happened because the Z axis ballscrew mount was moving before the head itself started to move when changing direction. I decided to make the Z axis ballscrew mount taller, and mounts now with 4 screws. This source of backlash was eliminated.
