I am looking for manuals and information for an Allen Bradley 256K Micropath plus.
This is on a Aronson router table set up for making signs.
So far I've gotten it to fire up and move on all...
Yeah I've looked at the Foredom units and I could get set up for about $300.

The problem with that is this was envisioned...
I recently threw this unit together with the hope of doing some engraving.
It uses a couple of X Y tables taken from an old film developing unit. (remember film?)
Anyway I got it up and running...
I doubt that they make ball screws but it looks like they make Acme threaded rod. Get some that has a nice number of threads per inch or cm and put it together with some no backlash nuts.
Look...
I have a full set of manuals for the bandit if you want to pursue this.
I obtained a Shizouka mill with a bandit controller and was under the delusion that it was still workable.
Here is the...
If he can hurt himself on that his only hope is to become a lawyer or a journalist.
I would like to know how you made out with the motor.
That VFD looks the same as mine with a different label, wonder what the difference is. I had seen prices like that since I bought mine but...
I understand what you are saying, my problem here is that my sarcasm often does not come across as such. Workin on it.
I have often said that Americas biggest drug problem is the TV.

You are always going to get the obligatory 15 second blurb hidden behind the real news of what Paris Hilton is wearing or what Tiger Woods just did.
I'm talking about a 15 minute special or at...
Use jalassie's method of picking it up. Move the head as low as you can.
The center of gravity has to be below where your chain or strap is connected to the machine or you will be in for a possible...
Good, but you will not see it in the mainstream media, therefore it doesn't exist.
As a side note, notice the driver slides right through the stop signs except the last, where he was stopped behind...
Here is the unit I have

I just checked and...
I have had one of those phase converters for a while.
They work fine but nowadays you can buy a VFD for about the same price.
Congratulations on yet another trip.
I understand what you mean about the technology.
I used to be one of the guys behind the curtain at the telephone co. Started out with mechanical dial...
I think we need some pics here for documentation.
Here is the larger metal stuff.
Also have 1000 sq ft plus a storage container for the smaller stuff.
The worst need-it-after-throwaway was an...
I guess I'm confused here.
You say you don't want to build a machine and yet you have obtained a large portion of what you need to build a machine.
Why not try to tie what you already have...
Your lithopane patent is minor, here's a patent you need to concern yourself with.

I was talking about extra high power HF, used by older machines. Comes in real handy when welding light or rusty metal. Plays he!! with my fluorescent lights when I weld with it on.
Modern machines...
Wrong side of the bed this morning Charlie?
Check out Geofs post above.
With proper support and fixturing you can get away with just about anything.
Given proper info I'm sure Geof can help....
Leave your high freq off if your unit is so equipped and it wouldn't hurt to tie all the leads for each motor together and ground them.
I would also be a little leery of the longevity of the data on the SD card.
I know they are reliable but I would want some kind of error checking routine and probably a hard backup.
I think it...
I use one I made as my avatar. It was the first project on my CNC Shizouka.
Made a batch of these last year for Christmas. http://www.kimfab.com/pictures/turncube.jpg
Here is a good link on how to...
No he doesn't need a 4 jaw chuck for this but if he is capable of measuring and concerning himself with .005 in 7 inches he will need one for other stuff.
We are trying to get him orientated here. ...
First off get a 4 jaw chuck and center your piece. Now you are ready to adjust your tailstock.
Loosen the screw(s) that allow the tailstock to move away from the bit. Bring them back and loosely...
I guess the printed word is inadequate.
Although I don't like them I will henceforth try to remember to use smilies. :) :)
Did you look at the link I posted? My comment on Drudge was sarcasm.
Obviously did not come across as such.
You can make more in engineering with better security but you will probably find more satisfaction in making something.
I was an engineer for 37 years and did the machine work on the side to keep...
Here is a well known expert in the field.

Kind of long but interesting.
Funny how all the cold now is either an anomaly or caused by global...
I retired 3 years ago and was still invited to the Christmas party but I didn't get a bonus.
