Hi thanks for the info. My machine has the GEC spindle controller. I'm trying to get some info on that. The spindle has burnt out and I can't get that power that the board it supposed to to replace it. Or the spindle power.

Thanks again

Something like this then? http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/7037-...oxford-260-VMC

If your spindle has gone, then it may be best to replace it with a new spindle. the GEC spindle can only do 3000k rpm max - mine is gec and i can only get to 2000!
so if you look to replace it with a new spindle you can get 17k rpm and faster machineing times. You can get these on ebay cheap second hand. Although it will be a bit costly if you go for a 3 phase one, with VFD
