Hello All,
Dave here from the UK. Trying to convert my cheap chinese hobby mill to CNC, it's an AMA45 if that means anything to anyone,
6 speed gearbox, did have a 2 speed motor but now has an inverter, R8 spindle. Ballscrews have replaced the leadscrews. I originally intended
to use LinuxCNC with analogue servos and encoder feedback but this Masso unit looks pretty good. Fortunately, the chinese servo drives &
motors I bought will also do Step & Direction positioning. The day job is a CNC service engineer, I mainly repair the electronics but some mechanical
work too, so this is a bit like a busman's holiday
Regards,
Dave.
