The 5 pitch ACME screws are speced at 0.001".
The electronics are probably early to mid 70's.
Now if you were going to update this machine (that has had only a few
hours of usage), how would you go about it?
Would you replace the steppers? If so, what size servos and where
would you buy them?
How about the ACME screws? If so, where would you go to buy the ball
screws?
I think the electronics except for the power supplies are well worth
a replacement...any suggestions?
Any other suggestions that apply to a small knee mill update?
Thanks

Still looking for anyone who has converted or updated a Millrite to CNC.
Any information is appreciated.
