I finally have a motorized Z axis. It has only taken me? 7 -? 8 years.
I wanted to implement a X axis to the Atomic leadscrew so I figured I had best write a program.
To help me write the program, since I am not a programmer I went on the
and asked for help.?
Here is lathe in operation. The noise might be a bit much so turn the volume down.
?
I know that is not very impressive but for me it is a big accomplishment.?
If any one would like to get started with just a motorized Z leadscrew let me know
I will share my file.
Now I am trying to implement a direct drive on my spindle.
