I got a really good deal on this machine from work, we are getting a Hurco VMX42i for the shop. So we no longer needed this mill, I let my boss know I would like to buy the old machine for my self. Got a really good deal on it, and now its time to clean it up and fix all of the wiring in it.

From what I can tell it is a RF45, made in Taiwan, and the Ajax kit was purchased December of 2004.

The wiring is a complete mess. The guy who did the retrofit used extension cord cables for just about everything, including the limit switches. Every wire splice in the box is very sketchy, and I've had to fix a few of them in the past. The rest of the machine seems to have been well done.

Here are a few pictures







And here is the wiring nightmare inside the control box....



The 2 white wires running into this relay are a 2 wire home extension cord, that was for the coolant pump.



I wonder if the wires under the tape were just twisted together?



And I guess he didn't like the length of the power strip?




So the first thing I want to do is find a new enclosure and start over completely with the wiring. Thankfully I still have the original wiring diagrams, and the Ajax board is well labeled.
