Hi everyone, I am about to run the wiring from an older denford compact 1000 CNC mill to the new black box that I've got. I noticed that the z...
Tourniquet63 published a new build: Denford CNC Mill Update Read more about this build...
Thanks Peter, I just ordered the black box and the touch probe. I am sure I will be back with questions.
No, I haven't. But I just did and it looks perfect for my small CNC retrofit. I'm trying to resurrect this old CNC for my classroom. There were...
More I think about it, the acorn may be the way to go. It does look like the software interface is nice and I like that the board comes with so...
David you may be on to something. After the price of Mach 4 and the USB to parallel converter, I think it's about a wash. If I were to spend the...

I can get my hands on an older dell type box that is still usable and has a parallel port - so the geckodrive is probably fine. And really my...
Nice, Is acorn just the software? Or do you have to use their board with it? I'm trying to rebuild this machine for my school and ordering parts...
Ok, good to know. I will look into this route.
I see. I suppose a purpose-built machine would be easy to find a parallel port card or maybe even find a motherboard that has one on it.
That is another concern. I'd like to run the machine off of a modern laptop with a USB connection. But I've heard a lot of technical problems...
Makes sense. I am not super familiar with the geckodrive board - but is there a logic port for the spindle? Maybe drive it by relay?
The part I am unsure about is using a VFD. Right now there is a porter cable router in the machine - so I suppose I could just use a switch and...
Hi everyone, I have an old Denford compact 1000 that I would like to get running again. I don't think there are any problems with the machine...
