I am a middle school teacher and I have a Spectralight cnc mill and lathe. The setup for the systems are so old I used them when I was a student at the school. I think it is time for an upgrade.
The spindle motor no longer turns on (i've checked fuses, cables, wires, switches to no avail) and the y stepper motor has now stopped working. I am afraid to invest $1000 in a new pc card when I am unsure if the machine even works!
I would be interested in a hobby upgrade but dont know where to start?
What spindle motors, what stepper motors, what software, what control box?
help!!!
