I'm going to look at/pickup this mill next weekend. It's my first mill so it's pretty exciting. It's got ball screws and stepper motors. The CNC computer starts and the mill will jog with the controls but it's got a floppy drive error code coming up. I talked to Centroid and they said that the computer is ancient tech (and not really supported anymore) but thier ACORN system will hook right up and run with all the hardware on the machine, it's very reasonably priced and I have a computer that meets thier requirements to run it so that is a big plus. The owner of the mill seems super nice and is liquidating his father's shop that was open for 60 years. He says it's in very good shape and was always taken care of properly. Just getting a thread started on my journey with this thing. I'm sure many questions to come.
Is this the right place for this being there will probably be as many CNC questions as general machine questions.
