Dropout.jpg Just thought id share in the success of all my efforts in finally getting some parts made and thank all those patient enough to offer a helping hand during moments of insanity. Theres a few tweaks left with the machine i like to sort. For example i'm still stuck on calibrating the spind...

After some time away from the Novamill/mach3 conversion project and having moved house etc. I've finally been able to start looking at the machine again. I do feel a little like I've taken some steps back but I'm pretty happy with the results so far, I have all the hardware working she homes, runs a...

After some time with the Denford Novamill machine, i have the axes running using UIM2901-5A BoB from zapp automation through mach 3 and some drivers i bought, this seem to be working fine. I am however stuck with driving the original spindle through the sprint 400 board using this BOB, i did manage ...

Have you had much success with this board or did you opt for another?

So heres the latest, i spoke to Denford and they replied with the following (see below), Here are my thoughts.... i have an untested machine, I was told it was working but i have yet to see it run, i trust the seller but even if the motors and boards etc are fine, are they now out dated? what if the...

Im not sure which controller i have, is there a way to find out? At this stage im open to any suggestions although it would be handy for me to get it up and running on mach 3. Ive hopefully attached some images if they are not clear ill take some more,I believe the serial number is 91124G1/2 from ja...

Ive just bought a Denford Novamill CNC, and like many others im sure id like to convert it to MACH 3. I have the electronics but not the software, so as I understand I will need to at least replace the boards to get it up and running. Really what im hoping for is any information that people might ha...
