• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area.

Probably a good deal, even if the CNC controller is sketchy

Centurion 6 control runs a Pentium class, industrial, single board computer, on a backplane.

The CRT screen, if not color, can be easily replaced by a LCD monitor, and you can have full color display. Should be a plug to push a keyboard serial plug in to, inside the front display housing too.

I ran a Milltronics with a Centurion 5 controller in it, at work, and eventually bought it's sister machine, when it went up on CADC. Milltronics was pretty good about support on these old machines.
 
I'll add that according to a service tech that used to do a lot with these machines, the only part that is actually three phase, in the machine, is the VFD that runs the head, the rest are tapped off 110v/120v.

According to him, put hots on #1, and #2, on the VFD, and jumper #2, and #3 together, and it should run fine on single phase power.
