Greetings, I am the proud new owner of an Bolton Tools AT750 combination lathe and mill see here:
<http://3DTOPO.com/Bolton-AT750.jpg> I am super impressed with the machine so far. I am open to any suggestions for converting the machine to full LinuxCNC. I was thinking for budget and simplicity to go with steppers with perhaps Pico System's Universal Stepper Controller. How much torque is recommend? To control the spindles, should I get VFCs? Any recommended to work well with LinuxCNC? I think I will gear down the steppers at least 2:1 if not more. Recommendations would be great here too! Thanks a Zillion!
