8” X 12” Mini Lathe Conversion Kit
Another popular candidate for CNC conversion is the 7” mini benchtop lathe. Mainly due to cost, this machine is an economical way to enter into CNC machining.
The kit includes:
- NEMA 23 stepper motors
- Custom machine ball screws and nuts for each axis
- Stepper motor adaptors
- All new bearings
- All new shaft connectors
- All required hardware
Anodizing Aluminum
Anodizing Aluminum – we clean and prep your parts and anodize.
Colors
- Brilliant Red
- Gray
- Royal Blue
- Black
Ball Nut Repair and Maintenance
Ball nut repair and maintenance – we clean and inspect the ball nut to check for wear. We then fit new balls in the nut using oversize balls if necessary.
Ball Screw Machining
We machine ball screws to your specifications. We also supply the ball screw if necessary.
- Machining per end - $55.00
- Ball screw per ft. $25.00 for 16mm
Benchtop Mill/Lathe Conversion Kits

Grizzly G0704
(plus freight)
Understanding Grizzly G0704 Conversion Kit
The kit includes all the necessary mounting hardware, stepper motor adaptors, all new bearings, all new shaft couplers, 3 new ball screws, and nuts. Optional double opposing ball nuts for higher accuracy available on all axis. Note; The table and Y-axis base require modification. You will need access to a larger mill to make these modifications. Modification drawings are included in the kit.
Why Choose CNC Conversion Plus?
We're taking a different approach to convert your benchtop (or just about any other machine) from manual to CNC. We realize that not everyone has the knowledge in electrical and mechanical, or maybe the equipment required to convert a machine to CNC. Even with the axis conversion kits that are available (including ours) many times there are additional hardware (limit switches and DRO mounts) that have to be made. We also make laser/plasma/router machines to your specifications.

Grizzly G0704 Conversion Kit
(plus freight)
While the Grizzly G0704 may still be considered a benchtop mill (it does come with its own stand) it is very different from the Sieg style machines. First of all, it has more travel. It’s a much heavier machine, and, most importantly, it has tapered gibs in its way system which are more accurate and need much less adjustments. Also, the G0704 has a 1hp motor which is leaps and bounds better than the smaller X2 machines
The difference between the Sieg X2 style machines is there is some machining required to the table and Y axis base to convert it to CNC. Additional clearance is required to fit the ball screws and nuts to the machine. If you have access to a larger machine or to a local machine shop, then you can follow the detailed instructions included in the kit.
The conversion kit includes:
(3) NEMA 23 stepper motor mounts
(3) All new ball screws and nuts custom machined
(3) All new shaft connectors
All new thrust and tapered roller bearings
All the necessary hardware to assemble to your machine
