Hi Al, thanks for that.
This lathe will lead an easy, pampered life. It will never cut anything, it will be used for glass blowing. The axes will simply be jogged into position and stay there while the glass is blown, then they will be moved out of the way and so forth.
All of the control hardware has been removed, so I need to essentially start from scratch on the electronics. There are no servos, no nothing!
I will cruise the online shops for servos and drivers.
Is there a benchmark for torque I should be looking for? I am guessing 300oz/in would be a good starting point.
Off I go to plug numbers into the software, I will post my results in a bit.
Cheers
