Starmill PC Upgrade Advice and Help
Posted: Thu 05 Oct , 2017 23:44 pm
I have just embarked on my first CNC conversion. I have bought a starmill PC 1994. All seems to be in order and the machine looks to have done little work.
I happened to already have a USB Breakout board and steppers and driver boards for a project that never happened. The steppers I have are physically bigger than those on X and Y with the same PCD on the holes. Any advice on keeping the originals or upgrading. I'll update with the new stepper info when I get to it.
I have also been looking at the Baldor spindle motor .16kW seems very small to me does it do the job or should I be looking for an upgrade?
Any info or advice would be great
