I hope that is ok, posting in this forum, because I get an obviously nearly unused 165 horizontal mill.
I asked Boxford, but they say, they have nothing about it, no documentation, spare parts or Software.
And I have possibly the only machine that is sold ever.
But I know from a further machine in GB, 6 years ago.
Once upon a time there was a man who have a mass of documentation
of all the machines.
His Nick was BOXFORDCNCMAN with the email www.boxford-retro-cnc.co.uk
But the email is dead.
Does anyone here know, who are the boxfordcncman?
I will try to get a documentation from the school where the machine seems to be installed, some 30 years ago.
Pictures will coming soon.
After a short test everything seems ok, all motors running, unfortunately the B-Axis can only turn unidirectional in 45° increments. But I have a snailgearbox. So if I change the clampingstar for a pneumatic discbrake it should be possible to make continous rotation with any (in the driver given resolution) desired increment.
In a far future I will change these as well against a 5 axis Head with an additional Dividing head.Last edited by uli12us; 08-11-2015 at 07:36 PM.
