| Power feed for Centec2 |
| (1/1) |
| Fortis64:
Hi,I've just recently made myself a very basic vertical head for the Centec2 ,I'm now looking to adding my own power feed to the table . I'm not sure what size of 12v motor to use ,I initially was going to use a wiper motor which seems like it might have enough torque . Photo of the head I made which works surprisingly good . https://www.flickr.com/photos/99483750@N08/26315872798/in/photolist-Ezbxcp-G6rJ9N-KhmRcM-22Zf9tH-J3AkSD-22WCUVU-21DHBfM-ERGqNC-ERGmN3-21DHDEr-21DHBsv-21UFJXy-22WCTaQ-J3AooR-21DHzPF-22WCTn3-21DHFLa-DkKfci-J3Ap4P-ERGsXN Any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated . Thanks Sean |

Using a stepper motor instead of a plain dc motor would allow you to move the head a specific distance. |

Stepper sounds good ,but this would involve electronics ,I'm absolutely dire when it come to electrics . :doh: Thanks Sean |

Lots of easy to use stepper drivers these days at silly low price from the Far East :med: And many folk here who will step up and offer support :thumbup: |
