I am going to do a conversion on a sherline lathe and I am wondering if
somebody from the list could tell me if this setup would work. I really dont
want to learn another OS just to control the stepper motors.(linux, Keep
hearing too many questions that I dont understand). Ahh for the good old days
of cam controled single spindle screw machines. LOL I would appreciate any
help figuring this out. Has any body done any work with the stepper control
from herbach and rademan(?) . <A HREF="http://www.herbach.com/">Herbach and
Rademan - Surplus Electro-mechanical & Scientific Equipment</A> . I have
thought about buying one of thier controlers and seeing if i can figure out
how to make it work. Thank You
