Re: Yamazen CNC knee mill

I went ahead and purchased it. The price seemed right. The seller
found some paper work that indicates it was made by Sanki and Yamazen
was just a distributor. Yamazen terminated their relationship in 1989
two years after the mill was made. It has an Allen Bradley Series B
8400 control. The paper work does not say what type of spindle it
has. I will have to have someone who is more knowledgeable than me
look and it and let me know. I plan on stripping off the Allen Bradley
control and using Mach 3 to control it. It's a big project and
hopefully I won't get bogged down.
