One thing I'm not sure about is what the original machine spec said about feed rates. I've had a play with mine to see what I could get to with rapid feeds (cutting speeds not a problem) but not sure what they could manage straight from the factory.
Just responded to your PM. You forgot your email ;p That said, shared my number.
I agree. I need to decide about steppers versus servos. The seller that had the machine has already bought brand new Kinco stepper drivers and a PSU to drive them. Easy plug and play (should be). Will likely go Centroid for this one.
Re: Centroid Acorn Orac ATC conversion
So dug out an old generic ATC I bought on Ebay before. 65mm from floor to centre, looks like the same size as what my multifix is. Amazing if it is. Can anyone confirm the height from saddle to tool centre please?
