Video for adding an encoder to a SEM MT30F4-45 servo. I will be redoing the servos in a bit once I get the new bearings. I will be making the shaft shorter add the encoders inside the housing where the tachometer use to live.

Excellent work!
Please post here your wiring diagram showing how you connected Acorn to those drives, what wiring those drives needed, and which encoders you used.
Sharing your experience here will help the next user that tries to do the same thing.
Congratulations! :D

I haven't had the time to work on the Supermax, due to being busy with otherthings, but here is a video of a Wheel True Machine that is not related to the cnc build. The video is of a tandom cnc lathe turning the wheels of an Light Rail Vehicle that had flats. The lathe has two tool holders that are working independently from each other. I thought someone might enjoy this video. The machine will repofile the correct wheel profile and correct flange.
