No offense intended here. I must be ignorant on the subject. Enlighten me on what I could do with an ELS that I could not do with a QCGB or a change gear set. I understand that change gears are a pain, which is why I bought a lathe with a QCGB to replace my change gear lathe. The price of the QCGB lathe was offset by selling the change gear lathe. If it is about not using change gears, it seems that a QCGB lathe would be cheaper than an ELS upgrade.

You have to understand that I am still trying to figure out why I would want to buy a water heater with Wi-Fi so that I can communicate with it via a phone app. All I want from a water heater is hot water when I turn on the tap. My QCGB lathe has 40 feed speeds. I think I have used about 5 or 6 of them in 3 years. Infinite control of the feed speed seems utterly useless to me.

I have been watching some YouTube and there is on system some guy made and he had all kinds of programmable boards on it. Seemed very complicated but he apparently has all the parts for sale to the public just don’t know how I would program the boards… I’m just a hobbyist?

Rui, my Craftsman 12x36 has a direct drive motorized Z axis. Not sure what you mean by "all the electronics"?

Eventually I might get around to doing a motorized X axis.

The hardest part is deciding how you are going to motorize the axis, and implementing your decision.

It took me years after following all of the discussions?on the web to actually?doing it.

Let me know any questions you might have or if you just want encouragement.?

I did it all by myself without anyone to talk to, that made it tough.

Until I got to the programming part where I got some great help.

Once you get the motor mounted I have a great stand alone program for motorizing an axis.

Hello all! Has anyone done an electronic lead screw conversion on their atlas lathes?
If so can you show some pics of the project. I’m looking to add one but seam a bit complicated with all the electronics.
Thank you!
