Thanks Indianamoon. I'll take you up on that. This unit has a prototrak MX2e on it. It's only 2 axis but I figure it has the ball screws and the drives so it shouldn't take me too much work to modify it for a more modern controller. I've seen several retrofit kits for the 3rd axis too.

My current mill is a great machine but this one has a bunch of extra features that are a step up. It has a power draw bar and variable speed head. The plan is also to run the motor off a VSD.

I think it'll be a fun project just getting the whole thing set up and working how I want.

Cheers
