    IH ENCODERS

    Does anyone have the specs on the encoder that came with the Industrial Hobbies CNC kit?

    Mine apparently has bit the dust and I need to replace the encoder, encoder disk and cable.

    My Y axis servo motor bit the dust on my IH mill. Does anyone know where to get a replacement for this servo? Or does anyone have a spare to sell?
