    Re: Supermax YCM CNC info?

    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...

    Re: 90s YAM slant bed lathe

    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...

    Re: 90s YAM slant bed lathe

    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...

    Re: Servos for old Haas retrofit

    Re: Servos for old Haas retrofit

    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...

    Re: Setting up AMC BE25A20 in torque mode?

    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...

    Re: Bridgeport Series 1 CNC Questions

    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...

    Re: Bridgeport Series 1 CNC Questions

    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...

    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...
