I have 2 cnc machines a Denford Easiturn3 and a Denford Triac both using original equipment PNC3 NE electronics. They both work fine at the moment but I have joined this forum in the hope of getting useful advise to upgrade them to use modern software and motors. Which I hope to do over the next couple of years. I run a small part time engineering company and use these machines for small production runs. I also have a Colchester Master 2500 and a Bridgeport type mill.
I look forward to exploring your site
Best regards Steve

Hi Steve and welcome to the site. Plenty of help here on upgrading those machines, we have members who have done so. Also you may not be aware of the Denford Yahoo group.

Thanks for the info I will check out the yahoo site. I hope to start work on the Denford triac after the new year. Apart from upgrading the electronics it will need new ballscrews and nuts on the xy axis. Its good to know there are others on the site who have done this upgrade.
