On my Supermax 1 1/2 VA with Bandit control, there were 2 socket head cap screws holding the Y axis nut to the mount. I did have to go up from the bottom of the knee as Jim stated. It required a few...

PNSNengineering, that looks like a fun project. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I haven't been on here much lately. I don't have the machine anymore, but IIRC there was a power terminal...

I've seen paper manuals for sale occasionally on eBay.

I recently purchased a mid 90's Nardini Fast Trace flatbed toolroom type CNC lathe with no manuals and not much info from the seller. I was hoping someone here could help me with some lube info on...
As far as manuals go, finding the lathe version of the series M (ML I think) looks more difficult than the mill version. I've got a copy of the mill version which might be helpful for startup. Here...
That looks like a cool lathe. It shouldn't really cost you anything to try out the current control as it looks like it is wired for 120VAC. If it works, then play with it and see if you can do what...
Mike, I apologize, I must have missed the notification there was a reply in the thread. Did you get this figured out yet? I have each of the fault outputs from the board going into one of the 7i77...
Mike,
That CNC mill project is currently on hold. Other projects have had a higher priority. I'm hoping to get back to it in the next few months but we'll see how that goes... However, I have ran...
I thought that one looked pretty nice for a retrofit. Is it as nice as it looked in the pictures?
Sorry, I don't have much good input on the servos. I did find these generic chinese 1KW AC servos...
Couldn't hurt to ask DMM if they have a low profile option. Alternatively, I found this (somewhat pricey) Yaskawa 1.3KW servo on eBay that may work as it has the cables exiting the motors axially...
I'm no expert, but I recently bought a lathe with an 8025-TG controller and have been reading through the manual quite a bit. I haven't seen any tpi parameters. What I have seen are a combination of...
Most of the parts I had left over from previous projects. The only thing I had to buy were the CPC1333G chips and I got those from DigiKey:

Sure, here are some pics of the wiring diagrams and the board I made to do the interfacing. The analog pairs don't go through the board but rather are direct connected. The EStop connection shown is...
I am currently working on a retrofit using the Mesa 7i92, 7i77, and AMC 30A8 drives in torque mode which should be very similar to your setup. I don't know if you have seen them, but AMC has multiple...
I never actually tested the limit/home switches on mine but the the switches for Z are just micro-switches so they should easily work with about anything. The X and Y axis have a combined home /...
Yes, assuming they worked. If you wanted to limit your risk, just buy one KL-2283 and test it against all the steppers. If the performance isn't what you'd like you are only out $130 and you could...
Some Bridgeport Erikson 30 spindles have a hole in the spindle for a drawbar. If this one does you can use pretty much any 30 taper tool holders (perhaps with a bit of non-critical grinding) and a...
The KL-5056 drives have a max of 50VDC so they won't work with the 60VDC power supply listed. If you want to use a single power supply for your steppers then you'll need to use a lower voltage power...
I'm in a similar boat retrofitting a knee mill with a dead Bandit I control using the original cabinets. I purchased a fanless J1900 based mini-pc:

Your best bet is to check with the landlord. If they don't go for it express you are willing to pay for the new outlet to be done by a qualified electrician, there is a good chance they will go for...
Not for pulse generation or other realtime control. USB can be used for general non-realtime usage though. Probably the most common equivalent for LinuxCNC would be a mesa card. Tormach uses them for...
Thanks, Havoc. :) The Emco sold today. For future reference it fit nicely into the back of an early 2000's Pathfinder.

How creative is your electrician? It sounds like you have a 120V circuit in the shop for lights and another circuit with a 120V outlet. If they are on different phases of the incoming 240V you could...

Not sure why they posted that. You posted an ebay listing in the "Ebay Ads Here" forum. I'm pretty sure you are good.
That is a great deal on a VF-1. If only I was closer and had the space... :)
By the way, I noticed I listed the wrong model of VFD that I used. I actually used the Hitachi WJ200-007MF which is the model that supports 110VAC single phase input. The WJ200-007SF only supports...
Havoc, I'm glad you found my build log useful. Please feel free to post any questions and I'll answer as best as I can (I'm certainly no expert).
I don't have the full history of the mill, but the ballscrews appear to be the original factory ones. They do look identical to the ones you have posted in your thread. I'm pretty sure I did slow jog...
Asking price is now $3300 or best offer.
