Didn't even think about a digital tach. I went with a digital readout. think I payed about $50 for it. http://macpod.net/misc/sx2_tachometer/sx2_tachometer_kit_v2.php

Got the disk today thanks again.

Thanks for the Info on the solidworks. Going to submit th forms this weekend for it.

I built a flood coolant system for mine. Using a fountain pump from harbor freight, five gallon bucket, sink strainer and drain and some loc-line. I just need to redo my shields around my table using to thin plexi glass and it is just to flimsy.

While searching for cnc conversion i ended up finding OG'S thread here and read thru it and ended up going with the same mill that he built. Think i am right around $3k still need a few things to go with it. I eventually will like to close it in for using coolants, but while i am still larnig to use it i am cutting wood. it is a little more forgiving than metal. One of the first thing made while learning. 2 days to figure out how to make the gcode and about 15 mins to cut it.

Not sure how a dremel would work on a polymere gun, but it does a good job on wood. here is 2 sets i did on cocoblo i did. The set on the right I screwed up on.

thanks, I plan on ordering a setup the first week of November. I did find a MicroLux CNC milling machine on craigslist fr $2500. But I think a better deal will be on a LMS and doing a conversion myself.

Og, nice work on the 1911's I came across your post while searching on LMs HiTorque Mini Mill cnc conversion. Have you made a list on what you bought and what you would buy different since doing your conversion?
