lead screw

It’s time for the second axis to show some movement.
This time we will start working on the Y axis, just because the X axis is on top of Y.
Almost all info on the assembly can be seen in the YouTube movie.

We bought a Optimum BF20 L as a conventional machine that needs to be converted to CNC.
There are a lot of options of driving the lead screws of all these axis.
Some say ‘Take of the hand-wheels and place some motors on them” (not our approach).
