I saw a video on YouTube [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0-tXDEvAqg&feature=channel"]YouTube - New CNC Trunnion Table can be 4th or 5th Axis made by HTS[/ame] and was wondering if a 1985 Fadal VMC40 can be set up like this utilizing Tormach's Rotary Table kit (http://www.tormach.com/Product_RotaryProducts.html). Can Fadals controler be changed to use Mach3? I have Alibre Pro CAD and Alibre CAM (Visual). This would make the purchase of a old Fadal machine a slick idea. Any thoughts are appreciated. I have been using a manual Lathe and mill for gunsmithing and parts machining since 1981 and want to get into CNC. I was primarilly thinking of the Tormach PCNC1100 machine since a lot of users have come up with ideas for it but I have the opportunity to pick up a low hour Fadal VMC40 (cnc88 contoller) with a 21 tool changer and lots of tooling for 10K. But I want at least a 4th axis and am concerned with the cost of using Fadals gear to do it.
