Upgrading a Denford Triac Mill

Two options, keep the DC motor and that controller or put a servo on the spindle. I did the both, the servo is quieter and can do more stuff (rigid tapping etc) but depends on what control system you use as well as getting it to work can be tricky.

Thanks for replying, If I don't keep it simple then it will never get done, I find learning new things quite difficult these days, years ago it was no problem lol
So will be keeping the original as I really just need to get it running & working, when you say keep the DC motor & that controller I take it you mean the sprint 1220i.
Originally I thought I might be able to use the original card from the control box but read that isn't a good idea.
