Lathe suggestions?

Finally after a 6 month wait the microprocessor has arrived from TI. Time to get going on this Electronic Leadscrew Project!

Big thank you to James Clough for all the R&D and working it all out.

I am using a Nema 23 motor approximately 140mm long

Thanks Tony looks good. As you say it needs a hole cut in the cover but otherwise is a good option. I’ll add it to my thought process on how best to do it on my machine.

OK here is part 3. This time we get the display panel modified and installed, and machine up a custom encoder bracket.

Also, more lathe stripping and electrical improvements . . .

OK looks good. My enclosure won’t fit there and will have to go on the wall off to one side. But the motor will and I’ll make a custom cover. Thanks

OK, time for the electrics. Wish me luck!
