    Cetroid Retrofit - Arrow 750??

    I'm looking at retrofit options for my Arrow 750 but I'm not 100% sure how it all goes together.

    Will the oak board control my motors and spindle without the need for Kollmorgen drives?

    Re: Arrow 750 - regen resistor glowing red hot.

    I have been speaking to a friend and he suggested it could be a short in the spindle motor causing the resistor to be fed current.
    Does this make sense to anyone else?
