Here is my SX3 Fusion conversion.

No turning back now! :o





Removed the table, saddle, and the Z axis drive and lead screw. Ready for the Ball screws and mounts.

Here is the Soigeneris control box.


A shot of the G540


Inside houses the MeanWell 320W 48V Power Supply with its own fan.


This control box is built like a tank. I am tickled pink with the craftsmanship of the entire controller.

Here we got the 20 AWG stepper motor cables with the db9\'s attached.


A db9 connector rigged up for 2 external E-stops, 1 by the Mill, and 1 by the Lathe.


A 3K resistor for the Nema 34.


Some limit switches.

Being the computer is placed in between the two machines, I got something that\'s a bit more mobile than the key board for jogging.
