Bravo, Nice and clean Stevoh! Looks like you already got an award for it on the inside of the sheet metal.Did you fabricate the controller board? I see the screw coupling and flex coupler but curious how you did it. Been a few conversation here about how it gets done and would enjoy your take on doing it.
Thanks, Great share!

Thanks PJ,
I've got an electronics engineer friend whos amazing, I just tell him what I need and he makes it. He found the motor and electronics and I designed the box around the bits and installed them. The box is made from spare award A4 size plates I used to engrave, had so many @ one stage just threw them out. Here's a few pics of coupling.
This pic shows the material I found on the side of road... yaaayy, freebie!!
cheers
Do you have the ability to disengage it for those times when you will need to use the manual wheel?
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
Hey frank, no disengage system, turning the wheel by hand just turns the motor with it no problemOriginally Posted by Frank S
I was just wondering because I used to have a Bridgeport with power feed I had to dis engage the feed to use the hand wheel
Edit, is the electronics and the motor capable of upgrading to NC or CNC later on if you wanted to do so?

I guess different kind of motors or gearing
The Bridge port had a 96v DC motor with right angle drive something like 12 wires came out of it

Good work and nice job
back when I started my apprentice 44 years ago they wouldn't let us use power feed on the mill, they wanted us to feel the cutter cutting and get the feel of how fast you can turn the crank without destroying the end mill, got tired of cranking the mill handle real quick.
Nice Job
Doug
