Anyone in the Sacramento area have experience with Shizuoka ST-N's? Particularly the DC spindle & spindle drive. My machine is in West Sac. It's a 1977 ST-N with a Machmotion controller. The X,Y,Z steppers work fine but i can't get the spindle motor going. I make acrylic aquarium filters, since i don't need a ton of torque I fitter a Bosch trim router but now I'm getting a bad surface finish due to rigidity issues (and I'd like to make some alu fixtures), I'm hoping I can get the spindle going and improve the surface finish.
A pic of what I make.
Thanks
Ed
