diy Mini lathe test bed
well here is the "throw it together as fast as I can" mini lathe..
Had to do something to fill all those voids in my schedual. (nuts)
its all low buck.. a test be for all the cam systems out there So far Mach3 is the winner.
first picture is of the somewhat finsihed controler box.
second is Enco lathe. just a slightly higher quality HF lathe
third is the x limit switch
forth is the z limit switch
fifth is a slightly blurry pic of the encoder for spindle timing. (would make another but am at work.)
thanks
Michael T.
