Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Tree Journeyman 300

Hmmm my journeyman 300 only weighted 3200 lbs and my stock servo motors were
130VDC but ran great at 80VDC.
My stock spindle control drives were shot so I replaced it with a KB
electronic speed controller for $400.
I also found all the tooling I needed on ebay at really good prices. After
fixing my kwick switch spindle drive nut I have come to like it.
