it is Huanyang Chinese spindle yes I checked it with my voltmeter cont. it does make the connection.

so my cord from the wall needs to 15 amp, 12ga ? 14ga? I assume rated 300v min. ?

spindle is 2.2kw, it does have 4 pin connector 1 of the pins is ground for the body of the spindle

Yes Al I agree but im not talking about my machine its 110v an does have neutral an ground.

my spindle is totally separated from my machine an needs 220v , my 220 dryer receptacle has 2 hot...

Hi everyone ,

I have read forums and directions say must use ground not neutral wire well my house is older and I don't believe i have a ground rod, ground is attached
to incoming water line...

ok thks for all the info everyone. I went with a pm45 with machine torch. no interference problems working great!

Sounds logical, you would think they would put stuff like that in their directions lol. What about the voltage tolerance + or - 1v to much or need to be higher I think default 8

I put new tip and electrode in cut 1 piece with proma disconnected got very good cut then turned on proma and just guessed at a voltage , I will have to try watching the voltage like you said.

ok thc rate mine is at 60%, to fast and stalls the motor but what about to slow?

I cant get my proma to work right I have it hooked up to 50:1 should I hook it inside to raw arc and see if that...

Hi, I have bobcad v25/mach3 I am adding plasma cutter with floating head to my table and I am wanting to edit my post processor so I can generate g code and zero the torch at the start of every...

Hi, I am considering buying the pm45 for my cnc table but have a few questions.

1. is this a high frequency unit or have high frequency start?

2. if I get the unit with hand torch can I plug...

thks tommylight, I do have a bobcampbell breakout board and a relay board from him so far(7yrs) all works fine. never had any problems yet with my machine but will see when I add the plasma to it ! ...

ok thks Dave that sounds like what I was thinking. is your proma thc working with good results? one other thing do you have the anti-dive button on your mach3 screen. I have the basic mach3 plasma...

Hi Everyone!

I am looking into building a cnc plasma table im interested in the hypertherm pm65 my question is would I be able to cut .25" steel and aluminum wired 220v with nice results and...

Thanks Keling, I bought the 5056D drivers. They are super nice.. silky smooth, quite . I will never buy another analog driver again.... Thanks Again!!! Scott

I couldnt find any actual facts about it, already have steppers/electronics..
yes servos would be nice... just trying to find out if it was worth doing...
I guess maybe its not so I will put this...

Hi, just wanting to know if anyone uses encoders on stepper motors. Do they just plug iinto the breakout board, set up in mach3?? How simple and worthwhile are they???

thks scott(nuts)

I have the ramp option but want to see it run the program in the simulation with a v bit.
allen123 says it cant do it and thats what I have experienced tried many different ways to show a vbit...

I have bc 20.6, sorry forgot what version I have. But I am wanting to use the simulation in the cad side with single line text, in the tool library i can show it cut with a .25" endmill or a .50" or...

I am also wanting to use a v-bit in bc21, is there anyway to put a v bit in the tool library and then when you use the simulation have it cut showing how the v-bit would cut.

Can anyone tell me what else is needed to get the foam pro package to work other than the software and machine. Do I need a breakout board? Does it just plug into the computer? From what I read I...

Is a powersupply all i need with that package, and does it just plug into the computer without going thru a breakout board.

I am wanting to build a 4axis foam hotwire cutter. if I get the hobbycnc foam pro package, what else do I need other than software and the machine.

I do have a 50vdc powersupply is that to much...

Thanks for the help guys! Didnt realize that the v19 would work. Guess, now I will have to download the demo and see what its like and if its worth the $$.

Really right now just checking into what...
