Re: The illusive Boxford 260vmc
on the x axis there is a gap at either end, but i'm not sure on the other axis.

Well when its running i will do some tests and see just how accurate they really are.

Looking at the data sheet it looks like it will drive a small relay direct, or even switch an input to ground.
Well its not really A wiring diagram but i think you will understand it:-

I'm wondering if the BU wire could be used to directly take a mach input low, or keep it low until the gap appears. If you get chance give it a go.
Re: The illusive Boxford 260vmc
on a bit of a side note, i picked up a soft ended r8 arbour today to test out the auto changer.
Re: The illusive Boxford 260vmc
As soon as i get round to converting my 3hp boxford 240 tcl, i'll get onto turning it.

I did consider this but i was looking at the boxford covered up in the garden pooring with rain and decided i wanted to do something and i just decided i had a 5 relay board and small 12v powersupply so i did it, it may be overkill but at least with the relay design i can utilise the sensors output without a PC fullfilling my manual control Obsession!!! lol

Ive no idea what that taper is :cry:
Re: The illusive Boxford 260vmc
have you pulled that out of another holder that's in your spindle, as it looks just like the colchester easy change holder from a 30 int holder. Or does that go straight into the spindle.
Re: The illusive Boxford 260vmc
there should be a cap head screw that goes through the centre of your easychange holder. Or does the spindle bolt screw into the top of the easy change
