    Hello everyone, I finally have my EMCO running I spent the last 5 vacation days learning this G code stuff..a 16 hour day was the average...lol. Setting the tool offsets for the drills in Machturn was the hardest. I really had a hard time setting the offsets for the drill bits. Although the drills had the same offsets, every time I called the tool number for a different drill, the offset would change. So I just did an M5, using the tool setting that worked and switch bits in the delay. Mach turn doesn't have a canned cycle for drilling and parting, so I kind of made up my own for each drill bit. Lastly, the turret is being operated manually. I'm going to try doing something in the future to get it working thru Mach.

    Anyway, without futher delay, My very first CNC program at work...

    Thumbs up Spindle motor

    Hello- this is my first post. I got my 120P 2 days ago without the control box. If I understand correctly, most people change out the motor. Is DC or AC better?? What would be the min HP? I would rather use single phase if possible. What motor would be best?? What control board is best to control the frequency /speed of the motor through mach3??

    I really don't know what I am doing so any advice would be appreciated. I have 5 phase servo drivers coming, a flow control for the lubricant pump, a USB breakout board, and a control board for the power turrett which will also control the lubricant pump and the pneumatic collet closer.

    Thanks-- I look forward to joining this board.
