The Boxford 260VMC as you probably never seen it before!

if you're parting with the original electronics i would be interested.

Hi i2i,
Can you collect from Bradford West Yorkshire ?

Ta,

i may be going to the harrogate show sunday, could we sort it out then.

[rnr107]

Could do... Would you come to my place?
Which bit do you want? I have the original stepper drivers, transformer + big caps, various relays , control panel...
I kept the spindle driver as it works fine with Mach3.
What do you think it is worth ?

Hi Laurent, the drives, rack, psu +caps and b/recs are all i need, the rest is boxfords own, so too old to be used. I can come to yours either before or after the show. No idea on value, these are more for for spares for old machines.

OK.... What about 10 quids and a look at my mill ?

Hi Ricardoco,
I'll post the electronic for you... :-) I followed your 260 build and I see you like all these electronic gagets! :-)

I2I,
I had a quick look at that ballscrew page, But they seems to have the type of nut I am looking for only in the rolled type of screw...

Hi there, did you manage to source some new screws for your 260 or did make do with the old, i only ask as my Z spat its balls out and im using a old lead screw as a temporary measure, but will replace all with new machined screws if i can find a reasonable priced source...

you could machine out the ballnut mounting plate to take a standard flanged nut, and put up with the slight loss of axis movement.

Hi i2i, if i cannot get some of those threaded ball nuts thats what i will do its not like you would lose much using a conventional nut ...
