I'm doing a full retrofit, new servo motors/drives and Centroid Oak / CNC12 control system.
Here's a picture of the Parvex I removed from my machine. PM me if you're interested in purchase.

James,
I also purchased the new bearing from the Chinese supplier, they come marked "Made in Germany" ??. I haven't gotten mine installed yet, so I haven't tested them yet, but Ash is further...
Marty, Did you ever buy the AC servos for this machine? If so, what was the specs on the ones you got? Also what is the mounting configuration?

Has anyone got one of these working lately? I've tried several jumper positions on the one I bought (FAT32 Drive Emulator, SFR1M44-U100), and I get the same "Seek Error Reading Drive A" error. If...

Thanks for posting... I've been looking for something similar in the 5C size that doesn't require an adapter.
Jim, Thanks for the quick response. What control software are you using on the Mill-Turn? I've updated my machine to Centroid's Acorn, so I was planning on using that for the post processor, but...
What kind of configuration are you using for Fusion 360? Do you need to set one up for each function (mill and lathe) or did you set up a separate one for each? Just wanted to get your thoughts. ...
Did you happen to make a drawing of the backing plate? I wasn't sure if the cheap one would be to small to mount to the spindle. I couldn't find any specific dimensions for the chuck on any of the...
Has anyone been able to fit a 5C chuck to their Mill Turn?
