hello my friends
i have bought a long time ago a boxford 160 tcl with auto tool turrent
i have spoke with boxford for the software but they inform me that my electronics are to old
and they not have this software
so i decide to convert it with modern electronics and work with mach 3 software
i bought a 3 axis nema 23 step motors with 425 oz
the problem that i have now is the threading
can someone help me with this
how i will make a thread ?
a friend of mine said that i can use a extra step motor for the spindle with a magnetic clutch and when i need thread i will work with this axis like 4 axis milling machine
can i use the encoder that already exist on boxford??
or the extra step motor that told you before is one way direction for threading?
thanks
