Do you have a gear ratio between motor and spindle? Do you have high and low gear?? If you do the motor option is a No-No. The encoder counts are entered as a constant in the software so could be

Hi, Ralph, Is it possible?? Yes.? Is it worth your time?? The encoder I used cost around $15, so I would vote "no" if it was me, but to each his own.? Putting it on the motor shaft could be

Re: Need some help deciding ...
I used DC gear motors for power feeds on a few of my machines, including a worm drive car windshield wiper motor for the X axis on my Atlas mill, which is maybe half or two-thirds the size of your

Thanks Charlie, that is what I was guessing. I am "thinking" of using a optical disk I could pretty easily do 100 holes doing more would get tedious, and I am "thinking" of putting the encoder on the

Yes the Consew motor drives the spindle. I do not want/need full CNC just motorized lead screws with automation. Other retros I have seen had the Y motor below the table with a pulley, that is why I

Re: Need some help deciding ...
I have seen some people used electric drills, so I am confused on how big of a motor is needed. It would not take a big motor to move the table, except for Z that might take a bigger motor. But it

The consew motor is on the head not the X axis. ?? Any chance of photos of your machine, this would help I am sure to see what you actually have. Thanks -- John

RAlph. Very nice machine thanks for sharing. IMHO this machine would not be a good candidate for CNC retrofit because of the following reasons. The X axis is not much of an issue, stepper connected

Hi, Ralph, The spindle encoder is crucial so the ELS controller "knows" how fast to drive the lead screw at any given instant.? I usually thread now using a hand crank; the change gears ensure that

Charlie, and others. Why the spindle encoder? Is a multicount required to get the spindle speed? I have seen lots of RPM devices that used one pulse others got their accuracy with 8 pulses. So is 600

Those are for the X axis feed on a mill. IMHO far too big for the Clausing 8520. What do you want them for? You said X Y Z which indicates CNC. If so these are totally wrong, as are the geared motors
