Denford Novamill 1996 Conversion, Hints & Tips Appreciated

Something like that. You'd probably also want a BoB to go with the ESS to make wiring easier. That bundle includes the required adapter leads, so you'd just need a BoB.

If you do a search over on the denford forum, there's a zip file with wiring diagrams. They probably won't be the specific ones for your machine, but they'll give you a good idea, especially since Denford usually used the same wire numbers for everything.

1 - Controller
2 - Stepper Drivers
3 - main power switch and most likely an input filter/choke
4 - Control relays. At a guess, there'll be safety guard interlock, spindle on, EStop relays. They should be marked
5 - Not sure. Looks like it plugs into the Controller, so could be some kind of interface board. Where do the wires go?
6 - Terminal strips/fuses.
7 - IIRC it's some form of power supply filter
8 - Spindle drive board
9 - Transformer for the controller/stepper drivers (which has reminded 2 also handles the power supplies)
10 - choke for the spindle motor
