Big VMC comming in next week.

Found and bought a Leadwell VMC with some tooling. It has problems with the spindle (10HP) but it sounds like electronics (controls) and we can fix that. It will be in next week...9,000 lbs!

First objective is to get it running with it's controller. Next is to convert it to run with EMC2 and a PC controller.

Hopefully the big honkin' servos and drive are okay (seller claims they were rebuilt recently).

We will factor it into our production at some point but for now is another "learning experience".

Should prove interesting.
