I have a Boyar Schultz 6x12 manual surface grinder.
I would like to add some type of servo or stepper motor to the x and y axis. Do I need to integrate them with a computer or can I have some type of other mechanical method for limiting the travel and speed for each axis?
My workpieces are 2" in diameter so I don't need much travel. On the X axis I need 1 revolution. the Y I need much more.
Any equipment recommendations? Thanks Pal
A few years back I automated a hand operated surface grinder using car windscreen wiper motors and microswitches to set the travel - it worked very well. (Sold it now and have a hydraulic one)

How did you do it Andrew? Get the motors to reverse quickly?
