something similar would help anyone with scales and power feed. I welcome step of automation.
my mini is powered with steppers and can run full CNC .
to that end, I have handles on the steppers to manually move them. no problem, but since they are manual, I have no feedback for position.
I am running a ball screw for the Z but using the ACME screws for the X and Y. I do not do production and the mill has a serious design flaw about getting lube under the main table.
