Bridgeport Boss5 stepper to servo

I would really enjoy reading your entries - however due to photobucket I cannot see any of your photos.
Thanks,
Joe

Might have sometime to fix that this week.


Also the machine will be for sell sometime this week. Decided to step up to a bigger VMC and no extra room in garage to keep the unit.

I would really appreciate that. I have been looking at the text but pictures are worth.... I also found your thread on the control panel interesting - hopefully you can fix that at the same time. Photobucket's changes really messed up many people...

I have a Boss5 that was converted to run mach3 by a previous owner. It uses the original steppers with gecko drives.
It also has a servo 4th axis and a VFD for the spindle. I plan to add many things that were not included in the original conversion (spindle control from mach3, stepper or servo for the knee to accommodate tool length changes - too little z axis now, encoder on the spindle for rigid tapping etc...)

So I cant edit the links in the thread anymore but Chrome with the Photobucket Hotlink fix addon will allow the pics to show.

Great! I searched for the hotlink fix addon and found a firefox version as well.
It now shows the images -

I'm sorry to hear that you are moving away from the Boss5 but you do what you have to do.

Thanks,
Joe
