New DM1007 Owner

[Chattygt]

I just picked up a Dyna Myte 1007 milling machine. From the quick look over i did, it doesn't seem to have (or ever had) a built in display or controller. However inside the electrical enclosure it seems to have some sort of control chip with a serial port cable coming out (there is actually 2 chips with a serial port but from reading I'm guessing one is built in).

The machine doesn't have a tool changer, but for my home shop it'll be perfect, especially with the enclosure.

I'm on the hunt for manuals and any information possible. I'll get a pic of the chip i believe is the controller that was added. I'm wondering if I can use Mach 3 or something similar.

I've attached a picture.

Thanks
Jeremy

First off, welcome to the forum.

Wow! Looks like a considerably larger, deee-luxxx version of my DM2400!

You mentioned it lacked a controller. Mine was converted from the original "conversational" programming console/system to Centriod by a fellow machinist (and I think fellow forum member) here in Phoenix, Marty Escarcega. I bought the mill from him in "turnkey" condition. Centroid works very nicely on my mill, and if you're looking for a retrofit yourself, I'd recommend i!, as well as Marty. He's extremely knowledgable about Centroid and has done a goodly number of conversions. I think you can get in touch with him thru the forum. If not, let me know.

Thanks for the insight. I purchased a Chinese ddcsv3.1 to use as a standalone controller. It should also provide a means to control my spindle using a 0-10v signal.

I'll post some updates when I get a chance to get back to it.

Congrats on the purchase! I'm also interested to hear how the Chinese control works for you. They are pretty inexpensive and all in a single box. The big question I have is how much Chinglish there is in the control. That can make life really frustrating if you cannot figure out what a button is because it wasn't translated well and/or it is still in Chinese. The Acorn has the advantage of being US built/supported so you likely will have a cleaner experience. That said, the big ding on Centroid is that they apparently up-sell features, so the low cost control can actually grow in price quite a bit.

Anyhow, I'm very interested to hear how it all turns out.
