Power feed for a VM32L mill

With full CNC later, maybe?

Wouldn't that feed back voltage into the circuitry when turning the handwheel tho Duncan? Maybe not enough to damage anything...I don't know. But with the powerfeed circuit off, turning the handwheel the control panel was like a Christmas tree! **LINK**

Sorry to take so long to respond to this, mine's been working perfectly without a clutch for years, back emf isn't an issue for me.

I find that I can turn the handles slowly but if I go too fast the turn starts to get a bit notchy. I suspect the back emf from the motor is enough to get through the protection diodes and forms the resistance.

I should add that I may be talking gibberish here!
