We finally had enough. The RoboTool control system, that came with the mill, when we bought it three years ago, was a temper mental cuss. Some days it worked, other days it didn't. It made for a poor work day.
We are replacing the entire system from the control unit to the drive motors.
The new system is PC based and runs windows 7 ultima.
My son Kevin is working on the electronics while I work out a way to mount the new drive motors.
This mill is an early 80's model J head and is in great shape; with the new control system installed it should give us many years of service.
Santa Claus did come through this year in a big way; Thanks Big Guy.
The Bubble Jig website will be down for about ten days while we finish this up. It will be back up on the 12th of January.
Hope you had a great holiday.
