the dro that I have on my mill has outputs to feed the scale readings into a cnc computer running as you say Mach 3, only reason for using encoders is if your running servos instead of steppers. I still have a couple parts to aquire before I can do anything one way or another.
I would like to do this to my big mill, but will probably start with the mini get it working them turn around and do the big mill, I know that this will mean that I have extra expenses an twice the work but hey its for me and I'm the one doing the labor so I guess all the money I would have to pay someone else to make mounts an such I can put in the pickle jar for bigger and better toys.
Harry what drivers are you using Gecko's or ? thats one of the things that I still have left to aquire but if the company doesn't send me someplace soon, I may have to rob the pickle jar for money to buy them with.
Also ran onto a Nema 23 mount this morning on Evil Bi$%h milled out of a solid block of aluminum bar stock, had that trick word Billet attached to the name, cute little things all shiny, I think it would make a nice little casting project to cast up some blocks drill & thread some bolt holes, cut a 3/4 by 1.5 slot in one side, bore the center out, nice afternoons worth of work.
