An an ashamed plug here. Have a look at

http://www.tamarisktechnicals.com/pages/cnc.html

This is a mod to a Chester champion I did some years ago. Still use it
every now and then, one of the servo's has seized at present due to
coolant getting in it.

Have a look on youtube. Lots of info on converting a mill to cnc. The mill
of choice is an sieg X2 but lots of info that you may be able to use on
another machine. I have an an X2 which is a great little machine with many
add-ons available to bring it up to spec. I just fitted a belt drive mod to
it which has improved it no end (have a look at my video on youtube) and
everything for easy cncing is available also have a look at
sterling-steele.com.
