I keep seeing on YouTube a lot of videos by guys who have rebuilt their Compact 5's with new steppers, boards and software. However, none of them have the generosity of spirit which inclines them to tell me what steppers and boards they are using. I'm thinking of replacing the ballscrews as well. I'm looking for a list for a complete overhaul which will allow me to run my lathe with Mach 3 software. I have zero understanding of electricity, and I'm afraid that I'll short out and, or fry some expensive board upon startup.
Does anyone have a complete list of what I'll need to do the job and a list of suppliers and possibly a cost estimate? I don't want to reinvent the wheel here, I just want to gather the necessities, assemble them and run.
Any help would be appreciated.
