I recently had a marvel v10a automatic band saw fall into my lap. It's in pretty rough shape and I am considering doing a restoration on it. I was told the electronics are in potentially broken condition. I think it would be a neat project to retrofit the control, and would be useful to be able to upload cut lists to the machine via USB to further automate the cutting process and have a hmi. The machine does not currently auto miter and only allows 1 direction mitering. I think I can modify it to miter both directions, but need to further investigate if i can I will try to add auto miter. This thread will serve as a build log if I make progress on the project. Has anyone seen any examples of retrofits being done on band saws? What would be the best way to go about taking on this project.
