Enhancing a Centec Vertical Head

摘要

I purchased my Centec 2B mill about 6 years ago; it came with power feed, Mk 3 Vertical Head, 30 International taper sockets and 415 Volt 3phase motors running from a rotary converter. My first change to it was to convert the motors to delta and feed them from a pair of 220Volt inverters. This was not a trivial task because the motors hadn't been designed for delta. The second change was to fit a three axis DRO, but these are separate stories. It occurred to me that, while the quill was removed, I could also fit a Chinese digital scale as a depth gauge. I also took the opportunity to fit a rather novel, but effective, work light.
