Hey Jon,

first of all thanks for still reading my messages.

Since I know nothing about mechanics, power electronics, CNC,
machining, the only thing I know something about is Unix/C/stuff like
that, I found EMC a pretty good deal to use for our family bussines,
I still need a lot of info & education.

I need the info to find the brushes or replace them with newer
servos as far as the steppers I would like to have the info to
get the appropiate power supply/drivers since they already are in
the shop and we have plenty machines to put them on.

thanks,
esv.
