I have a mill thats in good condition with low hours originally servo driven. I will upgrade with MESA cards, Linuxcnc, modern servoes, 5 HP motor and VFD (variable drive removed), and maybe a full enclosure.

My progress thus far is the 5 HP motor is installed and I"m about to fire it up. I also have the Mesa cards and mpg.

PS I will be on the lookout for reasonably priced Kwik Switch 200 tooling. I may even make them from scratch at some point if I feel like doing a little tool post grinding, depends on if I can get what I want without paying inflated prices...
