Andy,
Thanks for the help. Line 1068 is for metric. I was able to go from there and
found inch. I have not touched the lathe for a few month so I am kinda having
to go around and re adjust to where things are again.
Thanks again.

Can someone point me to where I can find how to change the machine units
resolution in axis? As the default for inch is 0. I would like to go
out to 0.0. What would I need to change to change the displayed
resolution?

. Which are the most durable.
Thanks,

Looking at the specs they appeal to me. My motors come in @ 1.75kw so they
are within the requirements. The only drawback which is a small one is that
I have 3 axis (X,Z,W tailstock turret) and would require 2 boards. Which
would give a spare if needed, I am not sure if I want something sitting
I have looked at both thanks for the feedback. I am trying to weigh my
options. I have a MESA 5I20 that I am currently using mostly for general
I/O for the toolchanger but also planned to use it for the AXIS control. I
am looking for the best bang for the buck. I am not finding very many
As an update I now have both tool changers working using Classic-ladder.
Thanks to all for their input. I still have some fine tuning but I am
pretty happy with the results thus far. You can see it here.

As a follow-up to my question about my tool-changer on my lathe I have made
some progress on the First tool turret. I used Classic Ladder to handle all
the I/O. It is all hydraulically controlled and tool position is defined by
an array of 6 switches following cams (4 for position and 2 for
I am in the process of setting up classic-ladder for the tool-changer on my

opto22 relays. For each tool position it uses a combination of inputs from six
switches that follow 6 cams on a drum to dictate position
derating the spindle down a little bit. I am interested in the
drives that can use the DC bus and also even one to control the existing DC
motor since i am already building a massive power supply for the drives. I am
sure I will have more to say tonight.

Clint - I converted my Tsugami lathe (also 7.5Hp DC spindle) over to a
5hp AC spindle - and for testing was running on single phase 220
What would be the best way to get the voltage up to 400v DC?

With some research tonight I have found out a little bit more info on VFDs.
Most of the manufacturers stop listing single phase as a source for more
than 3 horsepower because mostly motors larger than this have three phase
power. The drives that specify single phase as a power source have larger

a 3 phase AC spindle. What VFD's are people having success with as a
