    Re: Masso CNC Control Issues

    I’ve been using one of the Masso controllers since January and I’ve been really happy with it. I like that I don’t have to have a second computer in my garage. I send the files to it over WiFi from...
  2. Re: enclosure wiring questions 220v VFD + 110v DC power supply

    Thanks for the clarification. So having more amp draw on one of your “hot” legs (the one going to neutral for your 110V components) won’t be an issue then? I think that’s what the other post meant...
  3. Re: enclosure wiring questions 220v VFD + 110v DC power supply

    Re: I may have under sized my gantry beam.

    I probably would have gone with a thicker material, but why not try it as-is? You might be ok with it.
