Hmm, got the head apart now, to refit it will need new bushes in the sheaves plus a new drive belt, probably £100 odd? I already have a VFD on it but only use it as a converter at 50Hz.

OR

I can pull the lot, fit a 1.8kw AC servo rated to 3000rpm, 1:1 poly-v drive and along with the back-gear if ever needed would give me full control from G-code - total cost about £400

So we are looking at about £300 difference for luxury servo drive??

What to do ;)
