Yes, it's a conventional mill that has ball screws and servo motor drives adapted to the x and y axis. The constant variable speed head is standard for this model mill. Its quite a common type of cnc conversion for a knee type mill. I'd looked at doing it to my mill but i found this one that was already done.
