I am new to this forum, I have owned a shoptask 17-20 XMTC for about 7 years. I am thinking of upgrading to stepper motors. I have plans to build the electronic part. The plans were published in projects in metal years ago.If anyone is interested I can e-mail you a copy of the article. What I was wondering has anyone tried the the control boards that are being sold on ebay? It's that old story do you make everything form scratch or do you buy some premade parts. I would also like to go to a variable speed motor on the lahte. I was toying with the idea of using a treadmill motor. Anyone have any advice on any of this ?
Thanks
Paul
