Icehouse Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Guess what boys!!!! Got it all working! CNC too! So much work to sort everything out. I'm still not quite done. Z scale is still missing some pieces that I need to order along with a screen I ordered to replace the burnt out one. I did figure out how to hook up a standard computer monitor up instead of ordering the "universal" kit off ebay for 450$$ Since I figured out how to hook up a standard computer monitor I found one that fits the frame on amazon for 65 shipped. The phase converter was super cheap to. 53 bucks shipped and made in the USA! I tuned it up as best as I could. I was surprised the table was in such good shape. 4 tens across the full X axis!!! Everything was well in spec. I think the repair guy kept up on it. Here are some pics A before shot After Notice the light. The entire machine was that coated with nasty oil. At least 120 hours in cleaning it!!!! Fixing the monitor Had to add a DB15 connector for a standard computer monitor. Since they used a ribbon cable I had to figure out how to hook up the DB15 connector to it. Seemed like the best solution. I just left the CRT board in place using it as an adapter. Fancy colored wire from the recycle bin at work. And it work! Been cleaning up and fixing the shop. Re did the panel, ripped the sheetrock off the walls added plugs, air and fixed the insulation. Use plywood instead of sheetrock, items can be hung anywhere now :) Also put in an EV charger next to the sand blast cabinet :) 7 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I don't have the room or the proper power in my garage. I can tell you from personal experience......you don't need one the size of Jeff's to make the vast majority of parts you can think up. I thought that about my 9x20 cnc lathe when I got it.......but it's paid for itself several times over now making nothing bigger than 2" in diameter. lol Look up NYCCNC and John Grimso on youtube......they both started with tiny mills and made enough product to move up to bigger machines. Anyway......not to sound too corny, but your only limit is your thoughts. If it's truly something you have a deep desire to do, you'll find a way. Anything is possible. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Awesome is right, Mike. I think Jeff just became my new best friend! I see how you are......dropped me like a hot potato as soon as someone closer gets a mill........ lol....I'm guessing that's not the first or last time Jeff's heard that! :) 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I don't have to room for another tool box, I barely have too for the one I have :lol: just too much shit to be able to get a machine in my garage. I'm a machinist by trade so I get my fill, I just would like to be able to make my own stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment

graveltrapp Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Looks to be about 1/4 scale? And a Bridgeport to boot. I have never seen one before, but that is some super micro mill badassness. Slap a dro and a few servos and you have quite the custom carb jet machine. 1 Quote Link to comment

captaingamez Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I might be picking up a 1928 9x36" South Bend today with quick change gear box, the motor and legs and two chucks. I take it that $650 is a good price? 1 Quote Link to comment
