    Re: 770 spindle grief

    Thanks for the response! I'm pretty sure the cables are ok. Also, I have since discovered, it will suddenly change directions indiscriminately. Also I am still using Mach3.

    I have a 770 pcnc, it has been used very little. I turned on the spindle today and it changed directions all by it self. Nothing I do will reverse directions. Not even the manual control panel will...

    Oh man, I think I had nightmares about your mill sitting on the garage floor under water. Very relieved to hear it survived.

    All I know about exotic woods is what a friend told me many years ago as he was getting into knife making. He said "Steve, whatever you do, don't do an internet search for exotic woods!" Hahaha...

    Not true. The shorter the lever gets the less the crank shaft has to throw. Shorter throw = more leverage.

    Sinker Expertise Needed

    I recently purchased a used manual sinker (Pacific Controls 30.) The manual is a little on the chinglish side and minimal on information. I did manage to get the thing to work but am a bit clueless...

    Was this code you wrote or is it from a cam program? If a cam which one?
  24. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    It would sure be kinda nice to see some Skyfire machines on this thread and maybe even hear from Defang. I would like to know how his biz is doing.

  26. Re: Tormach PCNC 440 Mill precision/ Rolled lead screw

    Dude! It is what it is. If you don't like it, modify it or buy something else!!!! We were all hoping it was going to be a more accurate machine but guess what, Its not!
  27. Re: Tormach PCNC 440 Mill precision/ Rolled lead screw

    I believe watchmakers, jewelers, etc shop a different class of machine such as the Minitech or better.
  28. Re: Show how to build a CNC machine from the very beginning to the end

    The lack of posts from those who have received machines, has me wondering if the Skyfire machine is not living up to expectations.
