Rebirth of a Denford MIRAC CNC Lathe
vtsteam:
Great project, Andrew, sorry I missed it earlier. I really admire your lathe. Perfect size -- to me at least. :thumbup:
Until recently I used DOS based TurboCNC on a couple of machines I have -- a homemade hot wire foam cutter, and a gantry style router. So I'm enjoying the fact that you've restored a DOS CNC system on your newer computer.
Right now at work I'm attempting to bring back into operation a 1998 vintage MTI dicing saw purchased by the CEO at auction, reportedly for $250 :bugeye: . Multiple issues so far, but weeding through them, Andrew style! :beer:

Hi Steve, glad to have you along for the ride :thumbup:
I'm re-learning things about DOS6.2 DOS6.22 WIN98 and XT that I forgot years back :lol:

OK I admit - I'm impatient :lol:
This paint is pretty good stuff and dries quickly to a very tough finish. I've managed to give the door two coats both inside and outside, and also the coolant pump access door and the sliding door lift stop.
Mind you, at over £12 per 400 mL aerosol - and so far I've used well over one and a half - cheap it ain't :bugeye:
However I'm very impressed with the finish and no doubt given a full 24 hours cure it's hardness can only improve (I hope !)

Hi Andrew,
There was a link to this company who will mix any colour machine paint you need on the Harrison Lathe forum recently
