[Turbo442]

I will use this thread to document the progress of my Grizzly G0602 CNC conversion. I picked up the lathe a couple of years ago from the Grizzly tent sale in Washington for $500.

Here are the main components of the conversion which I will be using:

1. A cnc kit provided by Billy from bdtools on Ebay.

2. I purchased the motors, drivers and boards from Automation Technology (Kelling).

Qty 2 KL-5056D Digital Bipolar Stepper motor driver

Qty 2 NEMA23 570 oz/in 5A 3/8 shaft dual shaft stepper motors

Qty 3 C34KL Motor Driver to RJ45 Breakout board

Qty 1 C35 Quick Setup Breakout board

3. I have an existing C6 variable speed control board and C3 Index pulse card.

4. I have an existing 5V 2A power supply and 12V 2A power supply. I will need a 48V 10A power supply to drive the steppers.

5. I have a WEG 1hp 1750 RPM 3 phase motor that will be driven by a TECO 2 HP VFD.

Here is an existing photo before the conversion.
