Hello, I am moving soon and would like to sell my CNC converted HF Mini Mill (Sieg X2). Pickup only please, located in Southern California. I attached some old pics of the build, I'll post some...

I see that I made some design errors in this first version. I'll be redesigning it in a smaller package and removing the reversing relays. I may keep the circuitry for the reversing signal and add an...

Yes, reversing the motor is as simple as reversing the leads which the two power relays took care of. I can't speak for reliability of doing this because I don't know if this motor was designed for...

Thanks! Yes, the C41 board will be the best bet according to Arturo at CNC4PC. I used the C6 board and it worked well but I could never get the RPM to match my tach readings closely. I had much more...

First, let me apologize for not being around to follow up on this. I posted the original thread two months after having my first son so I have been pretty tied up. I got the board installed shortly...

All,

After struggling for a while with controlling the spindle on my HF Mini Mill, I decided to make my own custom controller. I know there are nice boards offered by vendors but most seem to be...

Thanks Don. The box is a little bigger than my computer case at work but I don't think I could have fit all the components in this computer case. That old dell is an e1405 so the dimensions are:...

Thanks for the kind words. I sure hope it all works because it's a lot of work haha. Here it is 100% wired up for limit switches and estop.

If you look closely, you can see the relay has changed...

Thabk you. I'm in the process of wiring those up. I'm going to wire all my limit switches to one and my C6 spindle control to the other. The C6 has a RJ45 connection built in for the step, power...

Thanks Bill

jbrewton, I got the case from a local electronics store here in CA called Orvac. I wish I could tell you the model number or manufacturer but I bought it so long ago. It's just a...

Hello all, my first post, well second if you include my welcome post. Anyway, I just thought I'd post some pics of my compact controller box build. This is my first CNC build so don't be too hard...

Hello all. I am an Engineer living in California. Bought a HF Mini mill a few years ago and started a conversion using the cnc-fusion conversion kit. Because the kit was backordered and I had some...
