Cylindrical Grinder linear scale project
The The configuration for the readerhead I chose was HL1IC20000HA00C00 I chose the M8 connector so that the readerhead could be independent of the cable, such as if damaged I would not have to replace everything. I chose it with a single reference mark output, for use as the home position (when...- kerseykyle

What are these Doosan coolant gun/washwand/air blow nozzle options?
I use a Kurita SP100 spray gun, it's what Japanese machine tool builders such as Makino use. It took a while to find it but it feels heavy and well built. https://us.misumi-ec.com/vona2/detail/221000613487/?HissuCode=SP100 Another suggestion is to hang the coolant hose and nozzle inside the...- kerseykyle
