Hello,
I have just purchased one of these little machines with the intentions of converting it to run Mach3. The first concern is the large DC motor controlling the spindle. I don't have the control box for the lathe and I am assuming that's where the power supply was. I need to figure out a fairly low cost method of wiring up the spindle motor to a speed controller and either having an external speed control or having it work from the new BOB.
If anyone has had to do this before and has some recommendations please let me know. I haven't received the machine yet but i will have it by the weekend hopefully, can get some specs on the motor then unless someone knows exactly what it is.
Thanks!
