High Performance Ballscrew Kit
Upgrade your Bridgeport/Enco or other mill with this precision-rolled ballscrew kit. The screw and nut assemblies
are made of hardened steel for durability and long life. This ballscrew kit
will provide a load life expectancy of 50 million inches of travel at an operating
load of 400 pounds. The many advantages in this design over other products on
the market include:
• accuracy of +/-.003" per foot
• Preloaded Ball Nuts- Each ball nut is preloaded to eliminate lost motion. This system stiffness provides faster response from a control command. This added stiffness also allows heavier cuts and climb milling thus increasing productivity. The preload is adjustable. This feature permits readjustment for wear and reduces the need for repair or future replacement.
• Brush-Type Wipers: Brush-type wipers, at the ends of each preloaded ball nut assembly, prevent entry of dirt and metal chips
• Easy-Access Lubrication:
Lubrication of ball nuts made easy through 5/32" holes in the flanges. These
holes provide for attachment of existing lube tubing. Available lengths: X axis:
36", 42", 48" Y axis: 9", 12"

Offering impressive machining power, repeatability, and convenience, the CNC Express Conversion Kit is available as a complete retrofit kit ready to install on your own manual Rong Fu RF31, Enco or similar mill/drill. If you enjoy building projects, you can save money and have a good time building your own CNC Express CNC Milling machine. With this kit installed, you'll be able to machine complex shapes that would otherwise be impossible and you'll be able to repeat the process achieving perfect duplicate parts. The custom made precision ballscrews on both the X and Y axes allow precision conventional and climb milling operations and accurate circular and contour cuts without the tedious setup of a rotary table. And it comes with step-by-step, illustrated assembly instructions which make the whole process easy and fun.
The kit includes pre-wired stepper motors, motor mounting plates with covers, ballscrews, pulleys, belts, limit switches, and all mounting bolts. In addition to the above components, this package also includes MillMaster Pro for Windows G-code interpreter and graphical simulation software, the DriveRack electronics with built-in MN400 USB controller. All cabling and manuals are included... all you supply is the base mill, a low cost computer, and your labor. There's nothing to drill cut or tap. Just bolt everything on, make a few adjustments and you're up and running in less time than with any other system. For your convenience, we offer the best quality base machine at a nominal cost!
All accessories shown for the CNC Express are also available for the Conversion Kit.

The CNC
Lathe 1236 Conversion Kit is available as a complete retrofit kit ready
to install on your own manual Enco, Birmingham, Nova or similar 12 X 36 lathe.
The kit offers ample machining power, repeatability, and convenience, With
this kit installed, you'll be able to use single point cutting tools to take
the place of form tooling. You'll be able to call up a part program and machine
perfect duplicate parts. The custom made precision ballscrews on both the
X and Z axes allow precision taper and curved cuts without the tedious setup
of a compound slide. And with the electronic threading option you’ll
be able to make infinitely variable internal, external, and tapered threads.
All mechanical components are precision engineered and include step-by-step,
illustrated assembly instructions.
The kit includes pre-wired stepper
motors, motor mounting plates with covers, ballscrews, pulleys, belts,
limit switches, and all mounting bolts. In addition to the above components,
this package also includes TurnMaster
Pro for Windows G-code interpreter and graphical simulation software,the
DriveRack electronics
with built-in MN400 USB controller.
All cabling and manuals are included... all you supply is the basic Enco/Birmingham
1236 lathe and a low cost computer. We also offer the base lathe (if you don't
already have one) at a nominal cost.
All accessories shown for the CNC Lathe 1236 are also available for the Conversion
Kit.

| For detailed specifications on the software, see the specific product info on MillMaster Pro or TurnMaster Pro . For a detailed review of the controller, see the QuickPhase for the Basic Package, the OptiStep and Mighty Drive for the Advanced Package, or the MN400E and MightyDrive for the Pro package. For motor specifications, see the 23HT175 motor spec page. Whether you are converting a lathe or a mill, you'll want to know whether you should get the basic or the advanced package. In short, the advanced package provides higher feed rates, program control of spindle on/off, and offers the ability of future expansion for 4th axis on mill or threading on lathe. The Pro package incorporates all the features of the OptiStep except is in an external enclosure with jogging controls, operates from a legacy serial or USB port and supports higher speeds and continuous contouring. |

Basic Lathe Conversion Package |
Advanced Lathe Conversion Package |
Pro Lathe Conversion Package |
| The CNC conversion products include the mechanical components and motors needed to turn your manual Sherline lathe or mill into a working CNC machine! Now you can easily machine complex contours that would otherwise be impossible. This easy-to-install kit saves you valuable time and effort. All mechanical components are precision engineered and specifically designed for the Sherline machines and include step-by-step, illustrated assembly instructions. The kits include pre-wired stepper motors, motor mounting plates with covers, shaft couplings, and all necessary bolts. In addition to the above mechanical components, these packages also include either MillMaster Pro or TurnMaster Pro G-code interpreter software and the proper electronics. The Basic package includes the QuickPhase controller that is ideal for low cost and reduced space requirements. The QuickPhase includes on board drivers and indexers. This eliminates the need for an external driver subsystem. The advanced package includes the OptiStep controller and the Mighty Drive driver/power supply. This has higher feed rates and improved noise immunity. Support for threading as well as limit switches (limit switches included) gives you the ability to run the self diagnostics and to auto-position the tool to a known reference point at any time. The Mighty Drive can turn on/off the spindle motor under program control (using M3 and M5 commands). The Pro package incorporates all the features of our most powerful motion controller, the MN400E, which is in an external enclosure with jogging controls, operates from a serial or USB port and supports higher speeds and continuous contouring. |
