ProtoFabLab.com I Bought a LARGE 5 AXIS CNC Router & it's from NASA!

I don't have a clue what I'm doing any more. It's old...If it was good enough for NASA in 1984...then it should be good enough for me in 2020???

How is the retrofit / repair going? How much of the old control, drives and servos can you save? Love that t-slot table!

I kept everything except the computer, controller, and spindle! czcams.com/video/mj6_pfVhihQ/video.html

Saw your post on The Hull Truth. Did they label all those cables (doesn't look like it) or are you gonna have to do some cipherin'?

[@keithskillz90210]

I already deciphered them (except for maybe 3) and spliced them back together. It took 2 full days and many espressos. Had the electrician over today, trying to figure power requirements...its 480V 3 phase and I only have 208V 3 phase. It was retrofitted...and then JERRY RIGGED with about 2ft in sub-optimal wiring, which had us confused. But I think we figured it out today. Stay tuned...

@@keithskillz90210 Good for you on getting that bowl of spaghetti straightened up. When we set up our shop we had to have FPL bring in 480. Set a new pole and transformer. Hope you get fixed up quick.
