Just to add, this control box is wired for both 110 and 220. 110 for the drives and a router if that's what you run with and 220 for spindle usage (by swapping a jumper).

I will also include a XY corner zeroing plate with scripts to use it.

Hey Kyle, about 6'1" ;-)

Yep Kyle I'd say it's on a need to know basis and we don't really need to know Sometimes you keep your cards close to your chest

Had to ask, you look shorter sitting on your bike.

It could be used on either a PRS or PRT, but you would have to check your racks for width. It's off a PRS where the racks are 0.5" wide with 30 tooth pinions on XY and 25 tooth on Z.

Ya I have the racks that use 20t pinions. so all the racks would have to be changed then right?

Are they 1/2" wide? I think the older PRT's were 3/8"

mine was the newest prt before they changed over but I also replaced them a couple years back with 1/2" wide.
