epoxy granite cnc lathe

today's update, headstock spindle attached, 7i96s connected, one dc servo motor on X axis attached.. now I'm going with axis training, first X..
 

Your headstock is going to be the weakest point.

You have a thin plate holding the spindle.
Look at every lathe headstock. There is a reason they are long and beefy and are not just a thin plate with a spindle mounted to it.

the spindle is not mounted on that plate, the plate is only held by this aluminum cylinder which is inside with three bearings and an internal fi60mm, the spindle has an MT3 tail with a fi30mm adapter and goes the entire length of about 150mm through the bearings. I agree that the plate should be a little stronger. all in all, I rarely use full rpm, the headstock is primarily an A axis and will be used primarily for woodworking.. and maybe I will additionally strengthen it with some metal diagonal, otherwise the whole assembly seems light, in fact it weighs over 200 kg with epoxy..

New update A axis connected but  a mechanical problem appeared..I will try to solve the driver settings first..

A and S command works..

Done with output from Mesa 7i96s, to AASD servo driver settings, to change position/speed mode on driver input.

Nice!
You should post the config files, some members of this forum had a hard time setting that up so it might help .
Thank you/Hvala.
