Mount nut on your tool post. Rotate compound to appropriate angle. Put cutting tool in chuck-mill cutter/drill bit/ boring head. Simplest way to mount nut might be a socket with steel bar welded...

Hello to all. My C1 capacitor exploded on my crt controller board on my bmc 30. It looks about the same size as c2, so I checked it(c2) with my cap checker, and meter says that cap is bad...

Turned out that the plug socket on the board was bad. When I wiggled the cable and watched the screen I got a couple of the bits to blink. I powered down machine, hosed the connections with contact...

Had Syil x3 running fine for months. Starting about a week ago, as soon as I open Mach 3 spindle starts and wont stop. I think I have tried disabling everything, one pin at a time, including the...

I am looking for conversational software for a small cnc mill that is currently running Mach 3. I am NOT at all proficient in g code, so kipware doesn't look good.......anyone have any suggestions?

To answer your question, I have a Syil x3 4 axis machine, works fine, does what it is programmed to do, every time I turn it on, have made hundreds of parts with it, no problem. Wish I could...

And nothing changed. I did a continuity test on ALL the switches, magazine up,down, left, right, spindle clamp, unclamp. Seem to have continuity all the way back to the C01 plug on the machine...

Go to HELP screen and follow it EXACTLY. I had this problem also. It tells how to switch from one to the other, and HURCO was no help at all.

Thanks much for the help. I will see if I have 5 v on u29 on the personality board, and if it does, I will replace it.. Thanks. JC

After FINALLY getting my boards back from testing, the machine will boot up again. It STILL thinks it is a bmc 30 no matter how I set the second dip switch, AND is not getting inputs from spindle...

Thanks, will try that. Too late to do it today, but can later this week. JC

Which chips did I swap? With the board on the table plug in side down, I re arranged the 4 OUTSIDE chips in the row of 8 . When that didn't help, I put them back in their original positions. ...
