Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC Sharline

Rich,

Nice Pix! I never thought about mounting the steppers on the *OTHER*
end of the shafts! Too late for me, I've installed the Sherline CNC
motor mount parts. I've only got the single shaft steppers from the
MAXNC motor/driver/software kit. I came up with two HEDS-6100 1024
shaft encoders, so i'm looking for new steppers with tail shafts. What
did you use to take the pix? I need a camera!
