Re: OPCON and USB-BOB
Well any RC controlled plane, car ect. is working with resistive Joysticks, as do lots of industrial machines, drive by wire in racing. Even in hydraulics with proportional valves like on any fork lifter. It is a more natural control than just on/off, what could be done with 4 momentary switches als...

Re: Safe Spindle Temperature?
I use dry Teflon Spray for stuff like this, slight rust prevention and no dust or chips sticking on it.

Re: OPCON and USB-BOB
Thank you for the info.
I had hope that the joystick could also control axis speed with a potentiometer like this one:

Re: Safe Spindle Temperature?
If new SKF are on the way, use them. I am not sure if they have used high quality bearings in Taiwan.
