If you are interested I have some pictures of Kim Lux's extreme retrofit of
his lathe on my web site. Look in the image section under KL
Yes Kim used my 600 oz in servo motors for the XZ axis which are the same as
the ones that I used on my much simpler 13X25 lathe retrofit. With mach3 and
the Geckos servo drives and those 600 oz in peak servo motors I get good
performance out of it. I'm really impressed with how smooth the treads are
using mach3 threading wizard and a simple index for the spindle. Art
modified Mach3 so the Z axis feed is synchronized to the spindle speed.
