  1. Re: Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    Not a problem....I misunderstood where you were coming from.
  2. Re: Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    I understand all of that.....now. That doesn't detract from the deceit in this process.
    1. One has a reasonable right to expect that the machine will be electrically safe. The fact that this,...
  3. Re: Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    Hi Gerry,

    unless I missed something, I think he is just directing possible buyers to deal directly with Boost. He may may a commission but there's no way to tell. Even if he does, he's taken...
  4. Re: Wiring between stepper motors and drivers

    Thanks for that. I guess it was easier for the factory to do that rather than fix it in Mach3 (they provided the software already set up).
  5. Re: Wiring between stepper motors and drivers

    Indeed! I know of a couple of other guys who have bought this machine and I intend to give them a copy when I'm finished (with a disclaimer of course).
  6. Wiring between stepper motors and drivers

    Hey folks. I have a Pacific Tooling PT6012 Router. I would have liked a wiring diagram when I bought it but they said it wasn't available. Hence, I have been slowly creating one for my machine....
  7. Re: Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    Hi everyone.
    Well, the saga (regarding the electrical safety of my machine at least) is finally over. As you will know from the earlier comments in this thread, I was deeply concerned about the...
  8. Re: Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    Thanks for that. I hope your new machine lives up to expectations. I'm curious (if you don't mind telling), what model did you get?
  9. Re: Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    Thanks Ryan. I agree with everything you have said. Unfortunately, because I am effectively the importer, Roger Webb is able to either dodge the Australian laws or make it so difficult to pursue that...
  10. Re: Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    Seriously out of my league! No idea if these represent value at either price. But if my post gives you some things to think about, I'm happy. Certainly, in that price range, you will need to be very...
  11. Re: Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    Post Script re the electrical earthing issue: I have queried Roger on getting an Australian electrical certification (recommended to me by an electrician on Woodworking Forums) and Roger's reply to...
  12. Re: Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    [QUOTE=phomann;2164540]On the issue of limit switches it is common to only have a switch at one end only. The idea is that this is used as the home switch and a limit switch. The other end is...
  13. Importing A Chinese Machine......Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling - CNC Router

    I notice that there are a lot of threads about Chinese machines and, in particular, about Roger Webb/Pacific Tooling on this and other forums. So, having actually bought a Chinese CNC Router from...
  14. Re: Vectric Aspire? Or is there something better?

    Thanks Gary. I'll check it out :-)
  15. Re: Vectric Aspire? Or is there something better?

    Thanks for that info and for the STL file.

  16. Re: Vectric Aspire? Or is there something better?

    Thanks Gerry.

    I'll check those others, esp Fusion 360. Free always sounds nice :-) The other links you sent were quite interesting too, in particular the Mach3 screenset. I've never found the std...
  17. Vectric Aspire? Or is there something better?

    Hi all,

    A couple of years ago, I bought a cnc router second hand and it came with Aspire 4 and Mach3. I find now that the Aspire was pirated but Mach3 was a genuine licensed copy. I now need to...
