i am soon to be starting a project tp make a smalll cnc router/ mill and form the information i have with the plans i dont think i should have to many problems doing this .
but i have also thought why not convert a old Student colchester lathe i have to cnc and use mach 3,but a problem i have is i have no idea what size stepper motors to use on the 2 axis of the machine ,any tips on how to calculate what is needed would be good .
