So I reached out to Roberto, he's been running the dyna mechatronics website since the company went bye-bye... And he said that both the turret oil, as well as tailstock, used the same oil as the...

So I'm still in the disassembly stage of my planned retrofit of my 3300 lathe. I've been able to rebuild the Gamet Chuck, great maintenance instructions still available from Gamet in France FWIW. But...
I did manage to get it apart, thanks for the help. It turns out out was fighting a previous owner's modification. I guess they didn't like the adjustment mechanism in the turret, so they added #4...
Thanks, that's certainly different from mine. I feel like there's a press fit pin or something I'm missing.
Does anyone have the mechanical drawing for the turret?
I have a copy, but I think mine is a different revision and I can finish disassembly. My version had two taper pins into the part behind...
Does anyone have any information (vender, drawings) for the static tools holder for this lathe? I'm in the very beginnings of retrofitting one and would prefer to buy a couple than try and make my...
Your right, don't have a grinding machine. Plan on buying the rails just trying to hunt the forums for ideas. I've I spent as much time in the shop as I do on the forums "researching" I'd be done...
Very cool, almost exactly the style and design i'd like to build. Do you have any drawings for this, or did you buy the plans from someone?
The unfortunate quick answer is tough-luck (chair). You can wire the limit switches like any other board, since the voltage of the pins naturally floats high. But as anyone knows, that only works for...
Those are for hardware disables, they turn the chips off which would be ok for some uses. They aren't something that the Mach3 can use for home switches.
The manufacturer did send me an email with...
I've gotten the mechatronics board to replace my twice failed xylotex board. But it doesn't have a 5V reference on the board. How am I supposed to wire in home and limit switches without a 5V source?...
Not nessecarily. USB isn't real-time for certain, but there would be multiple reasons for the hardware to cache ahead to compute rates for turns and such. USB or Ethernet would be bulk transfers, and...
To ensure it stays open source your best bet is to decide on a license. I would love to see it under LGPL (Lesser GPL) as it does allow some commercial use. Start a project under source-forge and...
