One servo motor and drive is worth as much as our complete motor/drive package.
So - yes.
As do 90% of the machines in it's price range.

I put teknic clearpath servo motors on a mini mill. They were ~350 each, and direct drop in for the steppers and drives. It is pretty impressive watching a little mill run at 350 ipm with sub-thou precision.

I'm sure they're coming someday, costs for the size we need are still high.

That's the coolest thing I've seen ALL DAY!!!

We've been hard at work with some new improvements, a fully automated material support to handle long lengths of tubing on the big machine. That and a host of refinements and such to turn my TubePro into a production ready cutting machine. Loads of safety guards to satisfy the safety inspectors

is one that any real shop is going to need.
Thanks for all the praise, its been busy without much time for my other ambitions either
