One thing I can't seem to find information on, and I assume this is because it is in the belt drive kit, is the height of the base mount (rails) that screw...

Hi Hoss, Love your plans! I had a question about the solenoid valve you used for the PDB. are you using a 5 port and actively pushing and pulling the piston or a 3 port valve and letting the...

heh, you are fast! I was editing my post when you replied.

Makes sense!

my mill has the same little window. it looks like an oil level window, but there certainly was no oil in the mill, and the manual does not depict the window either.

After thinking about it, here's how I would approach it with my manual lathe.

If I had a bunch to make, I would set up for each operation and run all the parts...

That's a really nice idee for the controller!

Cheers!

That's really nice.

NICE!
