I know a few people have done these. There was one on ebay not to long ago that mentioned the folks from mach3 gave him the toolchange macro for the lathe. Any help?
I am in a dilema, I have the lathe, and it has most of the boards, but none of them are wired up. My original intentions were to just use the original drives and a campbell breakout board that I have on hand. That went out when I found out nothing was hooked up. Anybody know what kind of performance I would get hooking it up to say a xylotex setup? My other option is gut it and use some pittmans and geckos.
How do I control the spindle motor on this lathe, should I scrap it as well? Anybody ever got its spindle encoder working with any of these drives/mach3?
Thanks for any help.
