>I have just posted a few pics (shermnt1,2,3) to the
>http://www.metalworking.com check drop box.  These are
>pictures of my first attempt at making a NEMA 23 stepper
>motor mounting bracket for the z axis of my Sherline
>5400 mill.  An interesting note to this mounting bracket
>is the fact that it does not require any modification to
>the z axis column itself, ie, no drilling or tapping.
>The bracket clamps on tightly and is perfectly perpendicular
>to the z axis leadscrew.  This was my very first item
>made on my very first mill.  Kinda sentimental.

>The .996 inch hole was made with a Sherline boring head, and
>the neat little slot was made with a cheapo Dremel tool cutoff
>wheel, although a more expensive slitting saw could be used.

>If all of this works, I think I shall put the complete instructions
>on converting a Sherline mill to cnc on a web page.
