    So incredibly cool to see my name on that screen.
    In our lab we have a Bosch CNC-machine from the early 1980s which is running, but the user interface is sooo bad, it also has about no memory at all. I have thought about a refurbish like this for ages - even just the Arduino should be an improvement.

    • @SeanHodgins
      @SeanHodgins  3 года назад +1

    I'd like to try and find an old square-column vertical bed mill like one of the smaller OKK ones. The problem is finding one which isn't too big. The MH-2V has either a 5hp or 7.5hp 50-taper spindle and a 12"x51" table. I wouldn't want to go much bigger than that. The spindles don't run too fast (1600RPM) but I could use a speeder for jobs which need higher RPM.

    I operated a cnc plasma cutter that was only 1 of 3 made back in the 70s using punch cards to do basic shapes using oxyacetylene, but had been upgraded to a stationary plasma torch blowing down through a 6" tube into a metal box that had to be empty a couple times every shift. I loaded the sheet metal onto a platen of 1-1/2" steel ball bearings and the clamps al9ng the rear of the setup would move the plate along 2 axes, after zeroing out the metal sheet.
    The main screw drive bearings died during my shift as it would erratically lose it's zero and have to be reset. The company installed a new one which they had to do some torch cuts to make fit, but last I heard they invested in a $1/2 million laser to take this historical workhorse's place.
