An MD30 drill/mill to conversion, which has been on hold while I fixed up the lathe. I have made a couple of DC servo boards (Max-Mod's pic dsp based design) for it and have yet to design the Z axis mechanism (which might be a planetary traction drive to the rack and pinion). Oh yes and I've yet to fix the broken servo motor encoder - I bought a bargain encoder wheel, only to find my two channel reader unit wont read the three channel encoder
And, a bed-top cnc adapter for the HLV, (similar to this [ame="http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75106"]Feeler conversion[/ame]). I bought an extra width Hiwin slide from the US the other day with the intention of using it as the cross-slide with a single, but when I tested the idea (by clamping it the Hardinge's carriage) there was a little too much play in the Hiwin truck to be useable (a new set of bearing ball might fix it).

Any images of the traction drive?
