    Replace Richauto A18

    Hi everyone, I got an Omni1200x1200 4-axis CNC router in May so I'm still pretty new to all this. It came with the Richauto A18. I'm pretty happy with the machine itself, but the controller leaves a...
  2. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    I picked up a proper ground bus bar today at Menards and will install it tomorrow. I'll post a picture when I'm done. Hope this helps the next guy.
  3. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    Yeah it's not pretty, I know. I looked for a real ground block or bus bar like in your photo, but you cannot find these in Windsor Ontario to save your life. It's ridiculous. That terminal block was...
  4. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    Ok I think I got what you mean. I re-wired the plug using the spare white as the ground and connected the other end to the chassis instead of the thinner ground wire that comes with the cable. I used...
  5. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    I'm sorry I don't understand. I'm not using the white conductor from the mains plug. The only white in the pictures is on the factory wiring, and that is labeling. The grounds I ran inside the...
  6. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    The mains are on 12AWG solid. Black to "L1" and red to "N". White is not used but I did not cut it short. I just wrapped it around to keep as a spare. The ground from the plug goes to the lug...
  7. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    The wire I used to run the grounds is green. 14AWG stranded.
  8. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    I have added a ground bus and connected every ground point I see in the cabinet. I'm not sure about the stepper motors, or the RichAuto controller though. The stepper motors all run to the Yako...
  9. Re: USA Client Teach You Use DSP Handhold Cnc Control System

    Does anyone know this guy or if he has his own youtube channel? This video was posted by Omni. I'd love to talk to this guy and maybe get some help with my Omni.
  10. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    421756Having a hard time finding someone to come out and take a look. Industrial electricians are pretty busy in Windsor it seems. If I can attach a PDF I'll post the wiring diagram I got from...
  11. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    Yes my supplier said it was correct but I have someone coming out to look at it just so I am sure. I made the change from white to red as you suggested. The cable I bought from Lowes had black, red...

    The black and white are the two legs of 120 from the 220v circuit.
    The ground is connected to the cabinet.
    I plugged it in...
  13. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    Here are a couple pictures of the mains hookup in my cabinet. Red wire is not used. (bought the wrong cable at Lowes)
    For what it is worth, my salesperson confirmed it is correct.
    Ok never mind. I...
  14. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    I'm in Windsor and we have several electrical companies in the area that specialize in industrial work. We're right across from Detroit so there is a lot if automotive, and automation companies here....
  15. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    Thank you guys for the advice. I have wired up the two 120 legs, one to L1 and one to N, and the ground to the ground lug on the cabinet, but I will not plug it in until I have a qualified industrial...
  16. Re: New CNC from China Need to hook up 220v wire and plug, to plug in.

    Hi Zach, I just received an OMNI 1212 and am having the same issue you did. I was sent a link to a video which shows a different configuration from mine. I have the same bus bar you show in your...

    CNC's on kijiji

    Hi fellow Canadian CNCers!
    I am in the market for my first CNC and am looking at both used and new. I have been in contact with Ed Hogan who has several ads on Kijiji. He carries two models that...
  19. Re: Windows vs Linux Mint - Possible Strategic Advantage ?

    I've been a Linux user for over 8 years, but I'm new to CNC.
    I support issues with Windows and associated software all day at work. At home I run Linux exclusively. My daily use computer is a 2007...
  20. Re: Anyone has experience about these Chinese companies bellow?

    Geez. Maybe I will just buy it locally. There is a lot more bang for the buck buying direct from China, but I'm not waiting 2 years and don't wish to have to try to bring suit against a foreign...
  21. Re: Anyone has experience about these Chinese companies bellow?

    I know this post is old, but I was wondering if you made it out to China and if so, what did you find out? I'm entertaining the purchase of a Blue Elephant ELE1212 or Acctek AKM1224.
