Twmaster,
I found a Weslo setup with the desirable MC-60 controller
any chance you can enlighten me on the ease of use?
Im going to attempt the retrofit of my Taig mini mill
I would like to to take advantage of the variable speed. and most of all
interface it with my Controller board. Im using Mach3 for my software.
Thanks!
Sam
