HI,

I remember meeting some guys at one of the Model shows , offering a lath service.

My Boxford AUD needs a new set of roller bearings fitted.

Any contacts welcome

Hi,

I decided on using the Leadshine solution as I was worried about losing steps. This is another reason why i used toothed belts to ramp up the motor torque. They self correct trying to pull back to the known position.

I have not got any other stepper motors to compare noise ratios, but is pretty insignificant when you start milling any way. I have found that the PC selection makes some difference. My original was an older scrap dell with xp and had to be replaced. My existing system , still hesitates occasionally , but is generally ok. At some point I may buy a more powerful 64 bit pc but its not really necessary. Try having a look at the pre-made aluminum mounting brackets, they can save a huge amount of time mounting the bearings.

Best wishes Mark

I really like the Alternative regulator published by Roger Vane in Model engineer Jan 2016. If anyone is in contact with Roger , perhaps they could ask for any updates. Has anyone worked out how to stop the sticking?

Have you seen my Sieg X3 Mill CNC conversion.

Enjoy.
