This is what the power supply cabinet looks like. The big  thing on
 the upper right is the 220V 3 phase circuit breaker and master
 switch. All the other circuit breakers appear to be wired to this.

 The spindle motor controller uses 220 3 Phase.

 The servo amps get along on 110 V.

 I am not going to implement the auto tool changer.

 There is a cooling system which I can manual control.

 In fact I can manually controls the spindle speed as well.

 That greatly simplifies the system I hope. It is not like I will be
 making 100 parts at a time. Just a very basic 3 axis.

 What do you think David or anybody?

 Sounds great. I am working on the code for HAL for your drivers. That
 manual was a great help.

 Thanks David I forgot the picture and the docs on the Speecom. Here
 they are.

 I am also working on the design of the end housings. The rear is
 quite simple.

 The front end housing must accommodate a water pump. Does anybody
 have any preferences for water pumps. 2nd gen or RX8? Or some else
 perhaps?

 The oil pump with be a dry sump pump with choices of several brands.

 Well, that power cabinet will need to be straightened up a bit.

 There should be a speed controller for your spindle already, just
 need to know what it is so I can find a manual for it and hopefully
 integrate it into the new CNC controller.

I am cleaning it out as we speak. I will make schematic of what it is now
and eliminate the unnecessary stuff which is most of it :-)

I'll put local switches on the cooling system and the tool changer.
Actually on the tool changer they are already there.

The big circuit 3 phase 220 volts breaker is also the master on and off sw with a handle
out side the cabinet.

I just sent the pdf's on the spindle motor controller.

It is called a Speecom and it was made by GE. 3HP 3 phase   220 Volt

Here they are again.

The axis tachs feed back to the servo amps so they may not need
to be interfaced to the EMC.  They put out plus and minus DC volts according
to direction. They are the same tachs that worked with the servo amps
before. It is a Sierracin Magnedyne.

I'll bet some of this tech came out
of remote controlled gun turrets in WW II B29's. :-)
