I converted one of these. Adding CNC to it just automates junk IMHO. I would say after you convert it, its 'average' but I'm glad I got rid of it.
I sold it, and for not much more than I sold it for, got a used BOSSV with a working original control. 1000x more capable. I wish I had not bothered with the G8689 conversion.. You will spend more time working around the limitations of the machine and fixing problems with the machine than making parts. Lead screws are bad, adding a Z axis will require a lot of gearing or a pnuematic lift...
