Warco WM18B CNC conversion

[TomekParticipant @tomek]

I would like to share few photos of my Warco WM18B cnc conversion.

Screws on all axis has been replaced with a 20mm double nut ballscrews.

4.5Nm 34nema steppers has been used on X and Y and 9Nm on Z axis.

As a controller I chose AXBB-E and UCCNC as a software.

There’s still a lot to learn in terms of speeds and feeds as well as generating a tool paths, but I’m happy with a results so far, and machine proved to be very accurate.

There’s a lot more photos and couple of videos taken during conversion if anyone is interested. Youtube link: https://youtu.be/L9Qk7GP5DVo?si=kFiIhgAOKMzStSVb
