OK so back on it today briefly (before having to go on the Lathe all afternoon re-necking pins for a customer order...) and ordered some more bits from Chalon so I can re-do the fuses from the transformer to the drives. otherwise I've just cleared the decks a bit whee other crap had been put on top of the control cabinet.

Once the bits arrive (more ferrules etc) I'll be continuing the wiring with a vengeance and then re-looking at the safety circuits so I can get the machine up and moving ASAP expect lots of daft questions on control philosophy again......
