My Boxford VMC190

[Graham Waterworth]

Here are some pictures of my part complet Boxford Mill,

The axis are working

Spindle part done just waiting for some more info on that.

The limits are giving me a problem (proxy switches at 24V)

Tool changer is part done, just working on the Mod IO macro for that.

Coolant,  the poor little thing would drown   

Control panel, haven't even started that bit yet, lots of ideas but no action.

Looking good Graham.

Hold off on the control panel. I suspect pending mach screen developments may steer you in a new direction.

Hi Benny,

you may be right,  I have coded many languages but never done flash,  I might have to dip a toe soon though.

Hi Graham,
Just looked at your pictures and supprised to see It appears to be the same as the 'namelass' mill I am rebuilding.
I did not know it was a Boxford, you see all I was given was the table, column and head with ball screws and spindle motor.
with cut short wires to the 4 motors.
I have got the 3 axes running under mach 3 and a xylotex board but I am stuck with the spindle power supply - any ideas?
Hope I dont get flamed for posting here, but would welcom info exchange
