    They are a fairly complicated machine, almost rube goldberg in nature. Requires shop air to drive relay/service triggered air pistons for the trimmers and guillotines. The one I have is entirely analog (well almost) but the new ones are a mix of analog and digital.

    Making an electric motor adapter for Nema 56C to a B5 D71 Flange

    The major outside dimension of the piece can stay 200 or even 180 I think, I'll have to check the gearbox housing for clearance. The end application here is a 'made in italy' by 'SCM' https://www.scmgroup.com/en_CA/scmwood/products/edge-banders-squaring-edge-banders.c863 The EU manufacture...

    Monarch 10EE

    Keith Rucker has a long term project that seems to be stalled where he's retrofitting modern electronics and speed control to a 1940s or 1950s 10EE. Its proving to be quite complex to replicate the 10EE functions in microcontrollers from what I understand. He hasnt had an update in months.
