Greetings from Oakville

[Manfred]

Refurbishing an EMCO Compact 5 lathe and building a CNC Mill from scratch while fixing up the basement and the deck. Happy to have stumbled on a Canadian Forum.

Hoping to learn a lot and return the favour - as I get better at cutting metal.

Welcome from...also Oakville!

Where did you get the EMCO? They don't seem to be too common in our neck of the woods.

My Emco came all the way from Florida - before shipping became so expensive. The Emco is still stock standard but the mill will be custom with the Z-axis column from an LMS5500 and the table from a M1111. X- and y-axis on 20mm rails. Still trying to figure out the z-axis. Cant decide whether to use the dove tails or rails.

Closed loop steppers running on Linux - but that's still a few pay periods away.
