I've heard that they'll be adding more I/O at some point, probably an add-on card?

Sorry, no lathe screenset any time soon. (soon being at least 5 years) :friendly_wink:

I had a similar problem with my Triac, tried new pull studs but still had issues with of them. I removed the cylinder from the top of the drawbar and adjusted the screw in the end of the spindle...

i went to southern engineering 2017 and spoke to some of the stalls selling tool holders, two did say they still had the moulds for bt35, but the demand just wasnt there

I've not seen any proper bt35 tooling (da180 da200) on ebay for years.

Last time I saw some I managed to get 9x da200 holders for £15 each

I don't think this will be very useful... but here goes.

Look to the Americans (ebay.com) - they have a few holders.

I have a single BT35 DA-200 collet holder. This is sat on my desk in front...

@Batwell - thanks, you're on the money. It turns out it's all working just fine and apparently just set itself up. No need for all the malarky in the UG. That'll teach me not to RTFM. :topsy_turvy:

Correct two, I'll post a load of photos at some point over the weekend from when I did the bearings

Machines with the drive dogs, IIRC early ones used a drop in solenoid to locate the spindle, then later ones used a sensor (possibly alos with a programmed time delay).

Denford stopped fitting the...

Well - after my mate came around and had a look he noticed the z axis jib strip was moving up and down. We had a look and found a lot of play where the screw head contacts the jib strip and as the Z...

Got some tapmatic tapping heads for my triac, work a treat

This post onwards covers the servo and the mount - http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/10344-Yet-another-Denford-for-the-collection-%28Triac-Retrofit-thread%29?p=89732#post89732

I Thread Mill down to M3, some things I make require a full thread right down to a shoulder, this has internal and external full threads to shoulders.

I'm using something like Mach3 version .028 and that works fine with the CSLabs macro for touch-off and M6start/end. When I tested the touch-off mechanism, I was getting +-1 microstep repeatability,...

Yes if using Cslabs macros. The problem is with Mach rather than Cslabs but the workaround is to use Modbus and talk directly to the controller rather than going thru Mach.
Bit fiddly for most but...

The enclosure finally went back on a couple nights ago :-)

There was a bit of a delay getting the servo for the spindle, which...

So getting back to the mechanics, the spindle was stripped, and rebuilt with new bearings and fresh grease. I only took one photo of it, which is this one, showing the spindle removed, but the lower...

Just a little tip. Don't try and hold the wires in place with one hand and measure with the other ( unless you have got more than the usual number of digits). Push the thread wires through a rubber...
