I have a mill with Galil 41x4 running. I am totally a novice at this so forgive the stupidity and somtimes stupid question. There are 2 item I would luv to pursue.
1: What Mach3 wizards can I run thru the Galil setup.
2: Can  I use the Homann MP-03 with this setup theu the 9 pin setup.

General Mach Discussion / servo dynamics board

« on: September 21, 2010, 11:00:16 PM »

I have a Servo Dynamics 1525-17 amplifier board in my machine and lost the controller. I need to know if this card can be changed from velocity mode to torque mode so that I can attempt to build another controller.

Yes I agree. I want to build the boring head. I have spent much time on the internet and have as of yet found how to do that. Apparently you know how to do that. Please share with me how to build that 90 boring head. I am not afraid to ask for this help.

Ok, now you all are scaring me to death about not being able to bore to size. At present I do bore with a single bar with cutters mounted in 5 pockets. I have the depth set on each cutter so I hold under .0005. I have had all my blocks lined hone after line bore. when I finally started checking what comes off line hone, I found that .0005 was the best I found. What was off more than anything was alignment. If one hole start to get large you loosen the main cap until it falls in spec then retighten the cap. During this entire time, the hone will continue to hone on the bottom. Therefore as a result, I want to try on a CNC machine to see if I can bore just as well. Heck if It doesnt work, AINT no worse off. Now are all you smart people telling me that we cant do this.

First let me thank those that have helped
BR549- What I am trying to do is rebore the main holes in a automobile block. I need to do it with a 90 degres boring head to get down inside the block. I only have 4 inches to work with. I am trying to locate a right angle head that will get in that 4 inches to bore. I agrees with you, I will have to bore to insure accuracy. Man I did not know how expenxive 90 degree heads are. I am trying to find a way to do this relatively inexpensive. I know it will not be cheap but I need to watch the cost as being retired has taken its toll. I may have to take you up on your help as Friday the Delta 40 controller hit a hick up and Autocon wanted $825 for a card and that had no guarantee that it would repair the problem. So now I must plan to build a new controller. If any one has a 90 attcachment to sale , please contact me a lets see if we can gee haw. Oh by the way BR549 did your help include an air line ticket HeHeHe
Again thanks to you all

hey BR549
What I want to attempt  is increase and existing hole by approximately .005. I really dont know if I can control the size close enough with a end mill or if I will have to bore. Hole is in cast iron. Working on an automobile block
thanks

Hood
You are correct. I want to install a 90 degree attachment and try to use a wizard (not a plugin) like the one that is on Mach wizards except I want to do vertically
