OK I have been bitten
About a year ago I was Visiting with Mike at Mini Machine http://minimachine.com/
Mike had a Logan lathe at home for sale and wanted to know if I was interested. The next week I rode out to his home to look at the machine. It was not what I had in mind but there were some other things he had that he was selling and one of them was a Dyna Myte 2400 mill. Long story short I made a deal on the mill as money was short and he was in no hurry to get it out of his home shop it has sat for a year. Last week it made it to my shop, being in the middle of a vary large camper van project I had time to unload it and did not get a look till last night. The X and Y drives have been replace with with handles the gears in the housings are gone along with the motors but the Z axes is intact. The mill is like new but dirty the power supply's are in the box as is the control board the control head is gone.It all powers up and the spindle motor runs nice and smooth and the speed control works.I was surprised to see the z axes motor was 27 oz but then i found the gear reduction and wow I bet it was slow but had a lot of grunt. So here starts the beginning of my CNC Mill I need advise at this point on the X and Y do I try to find the stock parts or go with new motors and belt drives?
Let the games begin
