------------------------ Then there's the power supply or supplies and a controller to buy. Also, those are used parts. Could last forever, could last just until the point where the seller won't replace them. Right now I just need to get the mill operational. I plan to save the spindle control stuff for later use and install a manual power switch. I still have to figure out exactly what type of 30 taper tool holders it can use. It has a threaded drawbar but does it need NMTB, CAT or ???. If I wanted to make a special drawbar, collets like the Kearney & Trecker 2D used would fit. I have future plans for getting fancier with it but it needs to start turning chips into money soon as possible for as little investment as I can get away with. None of my tools owe me anything, ie, they're all paid for. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
