Well I replaced the motor of the mill with a motor from an unused lathe and the machine works fine now.
During that time I purchased the upgraded PCI card, only to be dissapointed. The new card was too much for my old mill and their was a lag between the computer and the cnc machine that caused the machine to cut incorrectly. The solution from intelitek was to upgrade the cnc machine, only $3500 after spending $1000 on the PCI card.
I am going to use the 80s vintage spectralight machine for what I can and maybe upgrade the mill or lathe at a later date. Thanks for all the help. |
