 Good Afternoon,I built a cnc router 5 years ago and it is running great. I now want to hook up a 4th axis to use as a wood lathe with live tooling. I found in my garage a 2hp treadmill motor. It is 130v dc variable speed. I now have a couple of questions. What kind of board if any could I work with this to control the spindle speed from my computer? On and Off? Reverse and Forward? Could I use this motor with an encoder to control positioning for a 4th axis? What would I need to do this? If I cant control the positioning I know I would still need an encoder for the speed control. I would just hook it up to read the spindle. Any help or links would be appreciated. I expect to start to build soon and will post pics as they the project is completed. Thanks tony  |
