There was an article or maybe two (and a later correction) starting in MEW issue 108 on the construction of an electronic hobber - the basis of the one that John Stevenson runs.
Can anyone email me a scan?
Thanks
Charles
If anyone has these articles, I would be very pleased to receive a scan too. I have been mulling over such a concept and was not aware that the articles existed.
I have all the info here with a view to putting a kit together, but there did not seem to be enough demand. If there is then I'll brush off the dust and have a go. John's original prototype is on the shelf here ;)
Could be interesting but different mills will require slightly different hardware/encoders.
What is "enough" demand?
Charles
No so. The same encoder can be fitted to any mill it's just the gearing that has to run the encoder at 4,000pps so if you have a 2,000 count encoder you need a 2:1 step up
Charles, check your Yahoo email.

Doing well here, found out where a mill drill went and now a gear hobber.
Soon be able to see a floor at this rate.

Unless you find you find that is missing as well.
Well, whenever I have been to his workshop I have never seen one...

theres quite a lot of it on pallets outside, IIRC there was a slight over order issue :)
