MM Quick Build #63 - Pretoria South Africa

[KenC]

Speaking of the devil, an hour ago, I just got sparks flying when a piece of loose wood got caught by the spindle & rub on the collet holder long enough to get ignited...
The spark went as far as my Thien separator...
Consider myself lucky by not burning the shop down...

You can try Greg at CNC direct for the Gecko, he does stock them, and he has motors, not sure if they are Motion King units though. http://www.cncdirect.co.za/htm/stepper.html and http://www.cncdirect.co.za/htm/sensor.html
