There was a guy on ebay a while ago who was making nuts for various machines, I got one for my Boxford TUD.

Martin is your man, he will know if it can be done. I think Denford have quite a bit of stuff but you would be best getting the drawings, going through, working out what you need and calling with the list but ask if they could check you haven't missed anything. I think there are some 'issues' where ...

I have last years price list, new one starts in April,

VR5 single seat licence is listed as £285, I'm not sure if it will have gone up in the new list. You are best calling and talk to Graham for the latest price on Tuesday.

Hope that helps

Just confirm, you can machine home the machine ok? when at the machine home point it displays zeros for xyz? when at the machine home point and then toggle the display to show the program position z is at -1749.111 and Y is at 103.746? Have you tried sending the machine all the way to the left on x ...

are you sure it isn't saying E S t o P ? as in the emergency stop button is pressed in and you need to reset that?

Hope that sorts you out

Latest version dloaded for the install. reboots between each test too. Did the USB installation modification (uncertified drivers) tried again. no joy. It works in easy upgrader no problem and everything is seen in device manager. (the installation looked to go through in the same way as it had 1st ...

Replaced U19, I can now turn off the vacuum pump!!! really pleased something is going right. It's been a few years since I had to work on surface mount stuff, realised how much age has caught up with my sight, I resorted to a magnifying glass/light to get the job done!

Hi, Upgrading computer on my Microrouter Pro NS v5 Microstep. The original PC was fine but running XP and RS232 and I wanted to run it with a 64bit PC so I can have Fusion on it with Win10. As I have the USB board I added a bulkhead back to back USB and an internal lead. Installed current verion of ...

was going to post the same at work but don't have my login there.

I was wondering IF due to the battery fail it needed stuff uploading to it again. this is from the era before memory that didn't need power to store data. I could be wrong.

Wish I had called in now, I would love to have a look at the new kit, chat about F1 stuff for school and my plans. Would it be possible during the Easter break? I popped the cover off when I got home, looks like I have a proper british encoder, I couldn't read the full label but looked to say 733 DE...

That battery looks a little worse for wear, it may have caused damage to the board too. I believe they are available as a replacement (I have read various posts in the last year or so of people suffering issues with leaking batteries). Would be worth pulling the board and talking to science about so...

Hi Martin, drove past your place today, just spotted it from the motorway, thought about calling in! (I last visited many moons ago ~17yrs!) I'm not after an 'official' upgrade, It is a job I would undertake myself. I was more after a do you think a newer style board with novaturn eprom would drive ...

Hi Martin, Link to the post when I got the machine with pics, the main board is the GSM-Syntel LCB3 www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=4538 I did upload all the manuals too (great big A4 folder) I was able to scan to PDFs on the photocopier. http://www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=...

Just going to 'bump' my previous post. Given the thought it the ST5 was just before the Novaturn. would there be any 'old boards' knocking about at denford that I could buy so I would enable me to run VR turning? With the denstep/nextstep type board is the only difference between the Mill and turn b...

Hi, Just thought I would say I have just found a post at the Notting hackspace here https://wiki.nottinghack.org.uk/wiki/Denford_Lathe They have sorted out a denford post processor for Fusion 360! it is for the Novaturn but a start. I haven't had time to play with it yet, I only found it last night....

Ofsted done, garage time!!! I dropped the bearing blocks the left hand end of x travel, made it so I could run full travers with the door open, drove the axis fully left. wound the closest nut out, and back on on the next thread round, wound the axil to the right and then back left guiding the nut i...

Cheers Martin, Wanted to have a 'garage night' tonight but we got the call at work and Ofsted are in tomorrow now :( I gave ours a good coat of looking at in work this morning. I thought I had cracked it with mine when I realised that the screws were out of line in ref to the flats the drive gears m...

I had 5mins at work looking at the one there, I measured the distance between rails etc and all matches up. Then I thought I wonder if for some reason the drive has skipped a tooth. When I got home I looked at start point of the threads at the LH end and although they looked to start at the same poi...

Cheers Martin, I'm 99.9% this is correct (but then I thought that about the VP switch didn't I :) ) When I removed the nut closest to the door I did put it on 1 point off (despite me marking it and taking a photo) so when I wound it back to the axis which was at machine zero the screw holes were out...

Picked up this machine a week ago, full of balsa dust. Had to clear the home switches so I could get some traversing done. at about 480mm on the x noticeable binding and judder. I have stripped all the axis, cleaned all the nuts, screws, 'gibs' (the runners), silicone lubrication on everything. It m...
