EMCO UNIMAT PC BASIC==SMASHED GEARS

<< < (2/2)

Had a look at HPC and found '' timing gears '' looks like i will have to change all the gears, as the Emco pitch is 2.03 and hpc are 2.5mm, but at least it will give the old girl a new lease of life and I wont have to hunt the web for parts.....then look for a replacement screw and nut for the 'x' axis....I did put a volt meter on it and found that it goes from 0-45v dc....looks like a second psu will be sorced then I can power feed 'z' while using the mill....work in progress...... :zap:

Actually the Emco pulleys are designed to fit MXL timing belts which are specified as 0.080" pitch, close enough to 2.03mm though. The wider belt is 3/8" the narrower 3/16"
I was surprised to find that they aren't actually metric when I was recently looking for replacement belts.
