[Emc-users] Wyse S30 terminal as a CNC computer?

Just got three Wyse S30 thin client terminals with Windows Embedded CE 6 Pro on them. They have four USB ports, one RS232 DE9, one Ethernet, one VGA, speaker and microphone jacks. Geode GX 366 MHz CPU. For RAM they have a 128 meg PC2700 SODIMM and use some sort of removable Flash ROM, 128 meg

Hi Peter, And now I can see the summing is done right with the input. You guys knew what it should be and I just could not connect the dots. Thanks to you and Andy for sticking with me. Now it all makes sense. I just found this, don't know why it did not show in all my previous searches:

[Emc-users] VFD recommendations

I want to start looking for VFDs for my lathe and mill conversions. I have two 2hp 3 phase motors to use for the spindles. Of course if I came across a 3hp for the lathe some day it might get upgraded. Are there any drawbacks to using MODBUS instead of the usual analog 10v interface? Does anyone

Re: [Emc-users] Eagle mill retro fit

Well, when I thought this was going to go smoothly, I've run into mysteries. At my age you'd think I know better than to assume. I was working out the details of the current wiring to the Anilam. First surprise, there is no motor tach to the servo amplifiers. They use none of the PID

I don't know about the others, but I use Flickr. Uploading is fairly painless, and you can sort photos into albums. You can even add comments to the pictures. Whatever you do, please, PLEASE do not use Photobucket. They have WAY to many ads. Here is one example of my Flickr albums.

Re: [Emc-users] Tida_TD-1336_lathe

Kirk, on my Graziano SAG 12 there is a similar spindle head with the camlock fastening system. I made a lot of additional bolts for different chucks and faceplates so I had all the parts in my hands quite frequently. The locking inserts (nuts or what you call them) in the spindle head are

I assume that your spindle is MT5. >From http://chaski.org/homemachinist/viewtopic.php?t=87907 "The collet adapter that adapts the spindle bore from a MT #5 taper to accept 5-C collets is available by part number. The part number is P4026001 Collet Adapter priced at $30.00 plus shipping and

I have a Samson TB 6B 16" x 48" and it will swing a 20" face place with the drop bed removed (never done that). Mine is in pretty good shape for an 80's lathe and I use it regular. I can't wait to see your conversion might inspire me to convert the ole Samson. JT On 1/31/2017 5:37 PM, Kirk

Re: [Emc-users] Tida_TD-1336_lathe

Kirk, You have a big brother of the lathe that followed me home! It literally followed me on a trailer ;) Your's does look in rough shape. It is a 1979 Jet 1024P made in Taiwan. It came with a companion, a 1980 Jet JVM-626 benchtop knee mill. While old and definitely used, mine were very well
