Tech Design CNC Mill 1996 Need Info

Post by bob11x » Tue 04 Feb , 2014 19:56 pm

I acquired a Tech Design by Lab Volt CNC Mill. Tag says:

Tech Design
Machine S/N: SP40703A
Electronics S/N: OC00134827
Nov 1996

I called Lab Volt and they said it probably was built by Denford as they switched in 1997 to their own design. It is not in front of me but the mill says "Made in USA" which makes me wonder if I got correct info.

I have a machine that the cords have been cut and I have no paperwork. Any info available? Wiring Diagrams? Software ? Hardware differences to look for? Conversion possibilities?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

It is a Micromill. The early Micromills were made by Denford USA but production was later switched to the UK. If you search the forum for Micromill you should find plenty of technical details.
