New H/L mini lathe gears. Recently? cut new aluminium H/L headstock gears, I replaced the nylon gears to steel some years ago, after breaking several sets, the?steel worked OK but were very noisy.

Do you have a DRO on your mill? If you do you could whip up a couple of Arduino stepper drive controllers that just give you variable speed and use them as power feed controllers. If not then there

Hi John and everyone, As you can see, I¡¯ve just added a brute (12nm @ 6amps) of a stepper motor to my mill. The question that I have is what is the easiest / cheapest way of providing a digital

Hi Ralph, This is an area where ....angels fear to tread. From your picture it would seem that you either have an AC drive or a stepper motor drive. Either is not good from a noise point of view, but

Thanks Bob, that is interesting. I tried looking at the encoder signal with my oscilloscope, which I do not know how to use, and the signal looked really messy, not clear steps as expected. re:

Yes that would work Ralph ! Of course you then might have to worry about getting the grounding of the motor really sorted to stop coupling of the drive power signals into the encoder. I¡¯ve spend
