    I have a Grizzly Mini Mill (Sieg X2 type) and planning on converting to a CNC mill. Thinking about using the Blackbox as a controller. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I don't think it would be much different than building the mill itself and figure it would be easier than some other options.

    Any feedback/thoughts would be great.

    Can't see it here as it is mounted on the back of the column but I am running one on an HF-X2, with an interface makes for a perfect setup!

    Still work in progress
