A bit messy granted, but here’s a pic taken mid way through the CNC conversion of the Bridgeport. The X axis motor is connected to the shaft, with a 15mm 5m timing belt running through a 6:1 reduction drive. All bolted up using 6mm plates cut to size.

The X axis is on the left hand side, and took some fiddling to get right. The handle manages the end float of that screw, so I had to make a bush the right size and be careful in the tightening order.

The microstep controllers are mounted neatly in a project box, along with the Arduino running GRBL. Lots to do still, but it’s keeping me occupied during the lockdown. I’m really looking forward to seeing it run now!
