Re: CNC Conversion for 9 X 20 Lathe

Alan,

I have already converted my mill to CNC. First it was steppers.
Stepper were too weak and lost steps, so I changes to Gecko servo
drives and some monster DC motors fitted with encoders. Now I can
rip through most anything. I will be using the same Gecko drives in
my Camtronics box on the lathe. Just need to figure out the best
method of fastening the ballscrews to the saddle.

THx,

Wayne
