    Am wiring up my spindle controller now so hopefully i will be able to reply after!

    i2i, i see your into retrofitting machines (as mentioned on another forum post) which machines do you retrofit? or is it whatever the customer asks? or do you do it to sell on?
    Sorry to be so late replying, i seem to miss the alerts sometimes. I mainly convert Denford machines, but i've worked on Boxfords, Isel, old bridgeports, Harrison M300, M250, whatever is about. They can be customer machines or whatever i buy in, but they are getting a bit scarce now.
