Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Hardinge Info

There are two of them and they are both 440 3 ph variable speed. Looks like some kind of Reeves drive or similar.
There is also an interesting set of control rods that go from the electrical box to underneath the headstock. There is a switch
that says "Grinder on/off"
The electrical box looks pretty torn up.
Weigh about 1000lbs. and are located in Columbus, IN.

I thought about a CNC conversion. It would be fairly simple to fit an external ball screw to the saddle.
