You should be dragged into the street flogged and whipped to within an inch of your life for such atrocities.!! . . . .Not for drilling holes but buying a Myford in the first place....

My current lathe is a Colchester Bantam, having discovered that the Boxford AUD was not up to a decent cut , and a decent Myford super seven had reached serious big bucks by that stage if you wanted a gearbox and a cross feed,
I find that the bantam is a BIG little lathe capable of some serious work and comes complete with all the bells and whistles .(but we digress)

I am not yet confident enough to hack my Bantam about , at least not until I have become confident with the CNC process.
Hence the reason for buying the TCL. As they say ,"any old bike is good to practice on"

So having arrived at the stage where you have persuaded me to chuck the Boxford boards away, yet we think we can retain the lenze spindle controls , I am trying to establish whether I need to keep he processor board . It looks to me as if the relays which call the Lenze controller to run FWD, REV, and the latching functions may be within the processor board . Or have I got this wrong??

I am also trying to get my head around the pin signals to the BOB in relation to the switching functions of the manual control board . Each button there seems to switch a control voltage to earth . Is this a parallel arrangement to the control voltages utilised by the CNC software so could both working options .

Oh heck! What do you do to people who buy Chinese mini-lathes?

We don't talk about that.

Unspeakable things too gruesome to mention on a civilized forum, all I say is it involves electricity and cylindrical anatomy.

Ouch.

Is it forgivable if they are your nearest source of kit?

Go on then I'll let you off this time, plus I only said it to see how long it would take Clive S to bite and make sure the all-seeing eye was on his toes...

Yes we have to keep an eye on you to keep you in check.
