Hi ,
I am building my machine CNC, for milling, specially for wood. I would like to add another axes for turning the workpiece.
when I red the manual for configuring the Mach3 turn, I found that I need something called a Spindle that i ignore what it is.
This is spindle must be controlled by mach3 , etc..
question is, Should I have to buy a spindle? or a simple motor can do what spindle does? or could I use a stepper motor to replace the spindle which would be controlled by mach3? its speed, step an direction etc..?
thanks in advance, hoping that I am clear.. hope so.
