So, I was given a lathe that had electrical problems.
I sorted those problems, and I am now looking for some simple projects so I can learn the machine. My first thought is to turn some clutch pulleys out of brass. Do you have other suggestions? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Proprietary boards and motors have their place in manufacturing,and there are a number of heavy machine companies doing business. http://www.dipaolocnc.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IAHUy9A4U4 Very expensive though,you would have to have the work to pay for it. The beauty of the Emc2,now LinuxCNC is that the development costs were borne by http://www.nist.gov/ to circumvent the bottleneck of the manufacturer's constraints. A fella in Wichita converted a heavy 1960's 20hp Cincinnati 5X Mill to do aerospace,cheaply with great success,cheeply. Some sweat equity is also a prerequisite,the geometry of the machine defining the expenditures.Big=$. https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome...etools+used+usa The prices are dropping rapidly for burnt board machines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Converting a manual machine to cnc poses additional,large hardware costs.

I've done a few small CNC conversions from manual machines at home, I did a CNC retrofit a few years ago at work using Mach3, nobody likes it except for me and a few machinists. No more low dollar retrofits for work, all new FANUC electronics or Delta Tau, a little more $$ but worth it in the end. |
