ok thanks for all the insight I will weigh my options and go from there. the machine is a great base with box ways chilled ball screws and spindle thru spindle coolant and scales on x-y axis. if i have to make adapters for ac servos prob go with something like 1.8kw there a nema 52 base or 130mm ...

For some reason i was thinking that the Oak board only did AC servos. The dc servo motors in machine have resolvers and motor tachs. there should be plenty of room to change the resolver to an encoder from the motor i have had end cap off.

glentek manual as close as i can find

I have found the manuals for the drives. I have already done two acorn conversions one lathe and a mill. I'm not sure on budget would say 10K or less considering I payed 2500 for the fadal with Renishaw probe and 4th axis. I just like the centroid user interface much better and it can probe much ...

Option 1 Allin1DC? but my motors are 75in-lbs/20 current. this is higher then the Allin1DC says it can drive am I correct? If I am able to use for my current motors are there schematics for connecting to my drives?

Option2 oak and swap all ...

I'm thinking about doing a retro fit on my fadal 3016 it has the dc motors and drives but since there 75in\lb i cant use allin1 so thinking about my options. and ideas are welcomed thanks joe

what did you have to do to set the master tool offset? did you touch off the probe then make a cut enter that for x? i have to tool setter probe also but its not at x zero, i should make it that way would be way easier tho. any tool i have beyond negative wont probe correctly.
thanks joe
