Hello Paul.
Finally I will go back there in december for few days.
It will be too short for working a lot on the CNC conversion.
Now I've got two machinetools ballscrews to adapt on the mill for X and Y axis.
But the adaptation will be a quite long work as it needs to dismantle the tables and machine some parts.
I'll be happy if I can find time to do some machining work on the mill .
I'll try first to fine tune the servo and then to make some test with faster acceleration and deceleration ramps.
I have also to install DROS, and a digital spindle tachometer.
Probably at least one half of a day will be spent to move a Gambin 10N mill that is sold.
I'm looking forward to the day I'll find a place to move all that machines close to my home...
Despite this, I've installed an Emco compact 8 lathe in a very small room (4m2) of my flat in Toulon, it's batter than nothing.
I Hope you'll be able to come back to your projects very soon.
Best regards.
