    Hi
    I have an 'OX' but it's in bits at present and I wanted to know if it can be adapted it to use screw drive instead of belt drive, which it is at the moment.

    I know I'd have to change a few things but is it worth trying or should I start looking for another build.

    I'd be grateful for any input here.

    Thanks a lot.

    You can adapt it. I built mine with modifications for screw drive right at the get go, but here are some screw drive Ox mods.
    This one inspired me: The Frog CNC Router
    Daz the Gas did a great job documenting this one and put files up. Custom Ox Mods and the resource with files: Ox Upgrade Kit I like the screw up high above the X.
    There is also this one with 3D prindet parts.
