H,

Ditto Marty, I have a Comet 3KV that I have wanted to retro fit since I got it but don't have the money for the ready made kits. Mine used to be a CNC but all I got were two servos and it still had the ball screws, no electronics. A full list of components and wiring diagram would be great.

Hello,


A buddy of mine bought a bridgeport boss cnc mill off of eBay. I will be building a panel for it along with a 2nd panel for myself as a "ready to go " panel once I get another mill.


Going to do a step by step log on here in case anyone is interested.

Stay tuned


Harry

I am waiting for the aluminum panel and various other parts at the moment.

Here is a better picture of what the panel will consist of.

Note: this panel is for step motors... not servo motors.


A detailed list of items will follow soon.

Loaded up the bridgeport last weekend.

Still have to order the transformer and drives, then I'll be ready to start.
