JH,
Hey man that is looking BEEFY!! So those are new motors them? I love the looks of the dual ways underneath that table. This should be a real stout machine when it is finished. So are you using MACHmotion parts or control on this machine? They seem to have nice stuff but it is expensive... You mentioned Teco drives, that is the servo drives for the axes right, I have had very good luck with my Teco Sensorless Vector drive here especially since it is under modbus control. I would not hesitate to buy their products again. If you are indeed looking at new servos and drivers for each axis, about how much money per axis are you into it for? I am watching and learning here man and hope to someday follow in your prodigious footsteps with my own VMC conversion. It sure does look like a lot of work tho. Good luck with this baby and I cannot wait to see some videos of cool parts being machined on it. Peace my friend...
