Hi Tamra. If available, some photos would be of interest to me and the forum members. Even better if you have photos of WIP Work in Progress showing the manufacturing process. I am assuming QA relates

The latest couple of This Old Tony videos discuss hisn ongoing CNC-ification of his “new” mill. There’s a discussion of why servos versus steppers that should put an end to that ‘war’….one

Hi Ralph, I think you just answered your own question with your statements. Back when we formed the E-Leadscrew group to discuss the potential of some sort of replacement for the FROG Electronic

Thanks John, I cannot ever imagine wanting CNC on the lathe. I do have EazyCNC <http://www.eazycnc.com/welcome/welcome.php> for my mill (sitting in the box still of course). I do not see where, how

Hi Ralph, If you never ever want to have full CNC on your lathe then your approach works. But I've run into a lot of people who started with an ELS and moved away from it onto MACH3 or LinuxCNC. There

Bill in OKC, thanks for the links... neither of the Michigan clubs seem up to date on meetings; once ceased posting in 2019; and once ceased postings in 2017.? The closest one is 1.5 hours each way

I use Johns ELS almost everyday and I think it’s a great piece of kit. Does everything I need. Thank you John Peter Farmer UK.

Hi Ralph, The design philosophy behind my ELS was that you could not use the on board stepper driver and use external ones with a break out board that also connected to the 1PPR sensor on the spindle

Yes John I have not totally given up on your ELS. Do you still require a Break Out Board? What I like about the current versions of motorized Z & X is all they require is a stepper driver, the program

Hey Ralph, "Old system" is relative. If I were to design it all over again today I'd still have at least as many buttons. There's nothing more annoying than the current crop of 3D printer controllers

Yes Bob, John Dammeyer's ELS does threads and tapers it is a great but old system with lots of buttons. It was Jon Bryan's ELS that does not have X. Ralph

Hi Ralph, Not sure if I’ve gotten ?the bull by the udder here , but Johns ELS design does do X axis. (I’ve got three of them but only one of them using X axis fully) At the moment he has been

I do not read Russian and so far have found nothing but frustration using Google Translator. Looking at the original Russian Electronic Leadscrew project. Here is the download site that I have found:

This really is a shame, I know Richard and Charlie have put a lot of time in this. Ralph -- Clausing 8520, Craftsman 12x36 Lathe, 4x12 mini lathe, 14" Delta drill press, 40 watt laser, Consew

Bill, I did not know that! Thanks for the info! -- Regards, Charlie New Jersey, USA *There IS no cloud!? It's just someone else's computer.*

Thanks Charlie I will follow up. Regards Bob

Forgot to mention that there is a forum for readers at?https://www.homeshopmachinist.net/?and click on the Community tab. It also lists metalworking clubs around the country on that same tab.? Bill

I get HSM, Machinist's Workshop, and Digital Machinist. Each one has a slightly different focus, and it's worth getting all three. I'm not doing much in the digital arena, myself, but it's interesting

Bob, The publisher says that the only one of their machining magazines available by digital subscription is Digital Machinist. -- Regards, Charlie New Jersey, USA *There IS no cloud!? It's just
