Maybe late to this post but I'm new to this forum.
I bought the first SYIL converted SX3 about 18 years ago and never used it since I received it... but now I intend to do so and I'm back at this project .
If I could help with picture of the conversion or else let me know.

yea dimensions will be nice . he buy one and add some cheap dro only .. we find some cnc files but these are wrong

for his sx3 , and he got some gig with guy that renovate old motocycle engines ,so he is kinda fine with dro
and i still wait for upgrade ,i have access of his sx3 and mine bf ,so i am fine with it too
even i want larger one ,maybe one with belt ,iso 30, sieg sx3.5 like in between solution
rf45 is just too noisy ,guy use it in workshop in town near huh ,,he say he order 3 sets of gears to have it over year
maybe he pull mine leg or something but
well other solution is dro version of larger mill ,and easy up
oh well brain hurts

I believe you have the SX2, there was the SX1, which is tiny, the SX2 and the SX3 which is actually quite large.

I have an KX3-CNC that came CNC from Sieg - sold by Harbor Freight. Good for plastic, brass and aluminum. Not quite solid enough for doing much in steel. I am doing production work on it in aluminum.

I would suggest one of these computers - https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Cel...mzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0 - as that is what I am running mine with. Still running Mach3, using the Sieg stepper drivers is good for about 50 IPM. Milling aluminum, 3/8 carbide end mill, 0.025 depth of cut and 30 IPM feed.I would recommend the ESS - Ethernet Smooth Stepper and a 2 port breakout board so you can add the homing switches and end stops.

I bought a used one of these last June of 23, and have had a bunch of issues with it. I have yet to get it to work, and have had to replace the power supply, computer(XP PC) etc. I am looking to gut the old controls and install new boards and everything.
