I recently got a NM-135 mill from Novakon. I'm having issues with the spindle startup. It's under mach3 control both on/off and speed. I have a thread going on the Novakon forum but there's not as much help over there. A few guys have suggested some stuff but nothing has helped.
The problem is the spindle will start up most of the time but once out of every 10 times maybe it will just turn quarter turn then stop. Sometimes too it will get nearly up to speed and shut down. Then today it was doing just that again then it quit working all together until I restarted the computer. I've tried the default novakon settings, messing around with both the spindle settings and motor tuning. I also ran a new circuit today for the cnc to see if cleaner power might help. It's set to PWM. I'm not sure if this is a motor control issue or a mach3 issue. One of my guesses is noisy ground or faulty wiring. But this is getting a bit above my head.
