The Sequel - Oh Blimey I bought a CNC Lathe (Beaver TC 20)
Spurry:
It would be great to see you posting again, Andrew.
Hopefully 2025 brings good health and enthusiasm to all.

Oooh that sounds intriguing - I hope you will at least unpack it and show us what you got there!
I know what you mean about lurgies stealing motivation. Between us, my wife and I have been rendered mostly unfit for any serious house / workshop time for the best part of 6 months. Getting sick of sitting around and nothing happening but wife is better now and hopefully I'm not far behind. Obvs that hasn't prevented me from acquiring more tools in the meantime...
Hope you are soon back in the workshop and up to your old tricks again!

So this is my first opportunity to unpack the pallet of bits, what with the Christmas festivities and various cottage guests coming and going.
First job, with the help of a friend, tug the rather heavy pallet of bits across the inner yard from the unheated tractor shed into the warmth of the workshop. (My Forklift seems to have lost its foot brake so I don't trust it up and down slopes until fixed!)
First thing off was the servo crate that has all the drivers for all axis's and the turret itself :
Then came a spindle assembly for a Beaver Partmaster that he had scraped complete with tool gripper:
These can sit on the shelf hopefully never to be needed as my Partmaster CNC Mill is ok (another jinx !!)
Then a few interface electronics from the TC20 lathe that one hope I'll not need but better to have them than not:
Turret Logic:
Tailstock Logic:
Chuck Logic:

Now for the important bit - the SMCC servo logic controller that I THINK is the source of my issues:
Also he has returned the Field Coil Drive Card that I let him have as an aid to his diagnosis.
Disappointingly the Tool Turret Assembly is missing it's servo motor and is a bit knocked about - I had had ideas to set it up as a test rig but not without the motor :(

It's good to see you back with motivation, Andrew.
