    I have an extra Blackbox and a Grizzly G0619 milling machine that I want to convert to CNC. This is not a mini milling but a workbench style of mill weighing in around 450 pounds. I'd be usining Nema 23 motors on the X and Y axix and a Nema 32 on the Z axis. So would the Blackbox work okay on this project?

    Thanks,

    Lee

    Ideally use our motors to ensure optimal compatibility.

    3rd party motors: post the datasheets so we can check their electrical specs.
