Do you still have the drives or were they changed?
Yes it came with the original baldor flex drives, one had been repaired as you say, and he replaced one with a kinko drive and matching motor. I’ve just removed the two huge cabinets from the rear, so I’ll be doing a scratch install in new cabinets within the plinth.

I’m in two (actually three!) minds about which control to use. I like the idea of keeping the closed loop CSM hence my asking if anyone has used sim. Otherwise it’s uccnc or acorn (I’ve just done an Orac ATC lathe with acorn.)
