Hi
Don't know if any body comes here any more, seems fairly quiet. Not sure if this post qualifies as chat, but I am after Australian information so if it gets moved it will be a bit pointless. Hey, this is only my second post so how would I know.
Suggestions for converting my Emco PC 5 (the old steppers won't run accurately and being 5° and 71oz and 10 Ohm cannot be replaced)
Existing suggestion is:
Use
Existing machine power supply
Powermax II motors 252oz
Gecko 202 drives
Campbell breakout board
Mach 3 to run it all on a PC
If any one has any other ideas or has done a similar conversion could you let me know what you did.

The guy who has given me this info has converted 3 Emco lathes. He knows what he is about and has been really helpful, I am just wondering what has been done in Australia.
Thanks
Nigel
