I wonder if I can change my drill chuck, collet holder and facemill to R8 by just changing the MT3 posts to R8 posts.

The drill chuck and facemill should be possible unless the drive lugs are integral with the taper for some reason. I'm not sure about the collet holder. If you switch to Tormach style holders it's a different ballgame anyway. Seeing as you have a lathe, take a look at Hoss's tool holders for some money saving ideas. LMS doesn't explicitly list a facemill stub among their quick change tooling although they do list a boring head adapter.

Switching from a MT3 (3MT) to a R8 Tormach system is simply a matter of changing the 3/4" collet. The rest is reusable if you decide to change spindle tapers.

edit/ Rethinking this, small facemills are unlikely to use drive lugs. Most likely completely integral with the taper.

Ok, got the motors and power supply and g540. Can anyone show me how to wire the power supply to the G540. The power supply doesn't come with a plug and I'm a little confused as to what goes where and don't want to blow myself up here. Some sort of detailed drawing would be great. Its the KL-600-48.
I downloaded the schematic

Its all on the Gecko spec sheet .... 48v+ to screw terminal 11 (from memory) and Ground to screw terminal 12
I assume you've got the 110/220v AC side covered?

Is this right?

Power supply connection.

Thanks,
For the A/C side, do I have that right?
Green is ground - bolt to chasis or power supply
Black to HoT
White to Neutral?

And the E-Stop has 4 terminals
One of the green pin 10
One of the red to -V

Thanks, don't want to be guessing here

Green/Ground connects to the FG terminal.

Black connects to pin1 AC/L (line)
White connects to pin2 AC/N (neutral)

E-STOP SWITCH: Connect a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch to the DISABLE input Pos 10 on the MAIN TERMINAL BLOCK. The other end of the switch goes to Pos 12 on the terminal block. Opening the switch disables the G540 and closing the switch enables it. While disabled, the motors freewheel (zero torque) and the OUTPUT
terminals shut off.
