Could you please explain why you can not measure VFD output with a normal multi-meter? I tried with both of my multi-meters and got 7-800 volts with one meter and 40-50 volts DC reading with another...

In the attached picture I see what appears to be a ground wire coming from the ACM terminal on the VFD, but can't tell if it goes to ground on your USB board? Does it? Zooming in I see your USB...

Would you please post the ebay link for the Hi Winn linear rails you used?

I've learned having the gibs properly adjusted makes a big difference. I'm considering doing away with the gibs and installing linear rails on the Z axis. Problem is you need a mill to mill the...

Did you switch to a steel spring or find another solution?

I like that idea of attaching pully to quill barrel, as the shaft is not designed to have a drive belt tugging on it. Have you done it on a G0704? Pls post a picture if you have one. Agree on...

Tonight, I went in and lightly brazed the spline channels of the bearing assembly (not the shaft). Then filed the channels out until I had a light press fit. Then after reassembly I put one of the...

Ya, I use a bushing and it helps alot; essentially supports the top of the spindle which is unsupported and gets pulled on by the belt drive pully. However, I still notice slop in the splined...

Have any of you guys noticed how loose the splined joints of the spindle shaft is? I converted to belt drive and get vibration and think much of it is from how loose the splined shaft fits on the...

Hoss would you post the G Code you used to sharpen endmills with your 4th axis CNC?

Are the gibs adjusted properly? If they're loose they might grab when changing direction.

Do you set-up Mach 3 to control the spindle with PWM or Step /Dir Motor? The documentation in the C11GS manual is contradicts itself. It says to check the Sep/Dir Motor box, but then in the diagram...

My 0704 has the newer motor - the one with the 14mm shaft. Does anyone know what full speed motor RPM's should be? Without messing with any of the POT's it's running 3900 RPM. Seems slow.

Curious do you a have 3 phase service or are you using a phase converter? Am surprised you'd need 3 phase for such a small mill - comments appreciated.

You might want to check that link it does not go to anything to do with tool holders.

Reference the pdf above, Engine Configuration Ports & Pins table: Question, what are column 4 (Dir Low Active) and column 5 (Step Low active) for? I see they are checked with green checks.

I...

I used the Keiling method of hooking up to the Dir - and Pul - and setting the 5volt/ground switch on my C10 board to 5 volts. Works. Still need to set individual motor speed in the Mach 3 software...

Do you have your power supply voltage cranked down below 48v or are you running 48v?
Are your pins 2 & 3 connected to...

Can you guys share where you have all the dip switches set?
Also what output voltage from the power supply?
Also, I'm copying a post that says there are two methods to hookup the C10 breakout board...

Am surprised you need a double female parallel cable to connect computer to breakout board. Those are a little difficult to find these days.

I purchased the Kit from Automation Technologies that included items listed below. I assume the 5V power supply is to run the Breakout board?? If so, I'm confused as the power supply is a 'plug',...

Want to apass on I found a good resource for older desktop computers - Goodwill. The guy at Goodwill told me they wipe the hard drive of all donor machines and do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro. ...

Two questions:
Why are you installing encoders? I didn't think you needed them if you CNC'd the mill.
Also, why the solidworks rendering of the mill?

That's good coupon code. I put one of their Enco brand Mills in the cart Item Model #405-0593, and price went from $2355 to $1766. However, I already decided on a G0704, so I'll probably let it...
