Well. You set Mach 3 up to read certain Input/outputs. The probe is an input. So you would wire the probe up to your break out board, as an input. You then go into Mach3 and configure the port...

Hi Frank,

- I did the very same thing - took a 1985 SuperMax YCM-30, and retrofitted it with Larken 200(B) Viper Drivers back in 2010. It's been working pretty well for me on default PID...

Hi Group,

Great to know that you are doing well, Dan! I sure miss all of your posts and build threads. You stay healthy!

-Doing 1000's of revolutions - shows you the accumulated error. Eliminate the accumulated error - you eliminate that portion of the problem.

Thanks for the input, group. I made the "Poor Man's rotary 4th axis" out of parts that I already had laying around (ie a "no cost" weekend budget project).
- It is limited in holding torque -...

Hi Group,
- I've been wanting to implement a rotary (A) axis on my milling machine for a while.
- I actually have already done this with a 5C Spin fixture as a workholding device. ( CNC-Joe's...

I have the exact same SuperMax YCM-30 milling machine. I upgraded mine with Larken Viper Servo Drives, CNC4PC Break Out Board, and US Digital encoders. Slaved it to a windows XP computer with a...

Hi Richard,
- Thank you for sharing your Mach3 M6ATC.m1s macro.
- I see that you have put some failsafes into it.

- How are you handling all of the I/O on this machine? Are you using two...

If you can find them - the DynaMechatronic DM-3000 is an excellent sturdy lathe. There are already a couple of full conversions posted out here on either the benchtop or the Dyna forums... and it...

A lot of people have dropped off of CNC Zone. The new owner that took over has given in to all the advertising.. and I thnk it chasess a lot of people off. Plus - guys like Hoss aren't on here...

Nice! Good to see you are continuing your work. Is the FADAL stock? or did you change the controller over to Mach3/4? Do you still have your website up? (Skinner Ranch I recall)

Very Nice, Fadal - Richard. Do you still have your HomeBrew Mill?

Hi. Would it be possible for you to re-post the videos? Or start a YouTube page and provide a link to it? Thank You for your help. Looking forward to seeing your conversion

Nice layout! - Do you have a picture where you call out all of the components and what they are used for?

Nice Little machine. The only drawback is that you'll want more power and speed soon.

Nice little machine! Now - when will we see the Power Draw Bar and Automatic Tool Changer? Fourth axis? Nice work! Enjoy being productive with your machine

I'd be interested, as well !

Hi LloydCam,
- I have two (2) Dyna Myte 3000 lathes.

Hi Group,
- I have a Dyna Myte 3000 lathe with a pneumatic 5C collet closer on it.
- Does anyone have an owners manual for the collet closer that they could share?

Thank You for your help.

Very Nice Work, Mike! Definitely considering Acorn going forward. I only wished you would have posted your whole blog here (if you did - could you point me to it?).

Lathe still around?
