I just got a labvolt 5500 lathe and the controller is out in it. I am going to replace it and strip out all of the old stuff and replace it. I have tracked all of the steppers, motor and limit switches. I think the steppers are a nema 23 but unsure of the way it will wire into the DM 556 controller. Also what would be a good VSD for the spindle. Any help on this would be great.
