X-Y vice thrown togather this weekend

Here is a few videos of a couple of stepping motors running a small
x y vice on a drill press. It is being run by turbocnc by parker
drives. The steppers are 8 amp mae motors(overkill).

They are crappy videos. It is a 1/8 inch mill cutting circles in
piece of plastic. I probably have around .020 in backlash. This
was just an experiment to play with. It has about 5X3 inches of
travel. You might want to right click and download to your computer.
if not you might have to play the video twice in the player as it
might be choppy the first time.
