Hi Peter, I am using a Mill and I am using coolant. Long story but I inherited a bunch of HSS endmills from my grandfather and I have no clue the manufacture.. He was a gun smith in the old days so I...

Hi folks,

I am getting started in the CNC world and I am struggling with understanding how to determine feeds and speeds. I have milled several parts with a NON-Ferrous 4tooth 1/4" endmill and it...

I thought I would try and rename this thread to NEW TO MADCAM and see if I could get any kind of hit. Does anyone know how I can download a generic Post processor file? Shouldnt the Machine...

Hi all,

I am a little new to the cam world but will try to explain my dilemma. I have a few different CNC machines and I just purchased a Langmuir MR1. I wanted to try to consolidate CAM packages...

Thanks Ger21. I guess my confusion is if the board is dead how does it see the charge pump signal?

OK I get this is probably a dumb question but Im asking anywho.
I totally understand the concept of the charge pump, but I am confused about the wiring. I have purchased a C11G BOB and I am kinda...

Hi Craig,
I figured somebody might have some great info on this forum. It is very odd, but I did notice something tonight as I was changing tools, I use my remote pendant or arrow keys and it is...

I was wondering if anyone has experienced a jumpy axis on a router table that was caused by the Motor Tuning in Mach.
Could a miss tuned motor somehow cause a slight jumping effect that is more...

Hallelujah I think I found it. Its not exact yet but I am getting better.
I had the Pullys at 1 and MIN RPM at 3000 with MAX RPM at 18000 which is correct but I changed that 3000 to 0 and the mid...

I have to back track on that one pic. I posted the wrong one and I just noticed it. sorry !!
I am finally working in PWM and I have no clue how. I have literally worked on this possibly 50 times...

Well, I have got it almost all figured out thanks to some of your help, but I am running into 1 issue. I cannot get the output to VFD signal higher than 7.2v with 12v into the board and it is maxed...

Thank you!! You have hit the nail on the head. I will play around with some m3 commands tonight and see if the relays are triggered. It is quite blurry on configuring Mach to this board.

I missed this post for some reason. So I have my new board wired and for the most part set to go but I wanted to ask a beginners question. On this C11G board the top row is for the relays and PWM....

BReak in done. I sure hope I have all parameters set correctly. I have been through it several times now.
Struggling to get a full 5v out of Mach and at full speed I am only showing 570hz and it...

Ugra Spindle. They specifically have a break in procedure for their spindles.

Perfect. I believe I understand what you're suggesting. I am doing a spindle break in right now (6hrs) and I'm using 5v for the PWM to VFD so fingers crossed this will be adequate. Board comes...

Got just a first name and I will tell you??

Hallelujah, after a long time of learning and scratching my head, I finally got it done!! It's just hotwired until my new board comes but with some of...

Not sure but would not think you would know him.

I have made a mistake in which I posted this on another thread and though it was in here but you are missing a big chunk of the puzzle. I am...

I have not tried that but I definitely will if you think its worth a shot.

"your C10 Breakout Board does not have a PWM to Analog converter, so it has no way to process the PWM from Mach3 to give...

Just have these 3 enabled. #2 output is spindle on.

I disabled pin 17 in mach and I lost voltage at that pin so I think everything is good in the ribbon cable and smooth stepper.
How does mach know that Spindle pin 17 is the PWM port?
Is having...

10/4 I will make that change and see what happens


"The only way to check the output 0-10v is by using MDI and type in M3S12000 this would give you around 5v M3S24000 should give you around 10v"...

Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks again Mactec54 I really appreciate your time and great input.
I finally received a new SSR relay and now have my spindle up and running great thanks to your help.
I am so very close, but I...

AH that makes sense now that you say that. I do not see a relay on here? So a question would be is there a different breakout board I could use OR is it just as easy to install a 24v SSR in the...

Hi mactec54, I have the Delta VFD022EL21A
10/4 on the PWM, I will make the change

Hi all,

I actually have 2 hopefully easy basic questions. I have an older 4x4 Avid CNC and I am upgrading to a new VFD spindle. I am struggling badly to find a wiring diagram (if you know where I...

Well you will be happy to hear that I am putting off the 7hp spindle for a little bit until I get my new building and a little more research under my belt. I repurchased a 2.2KW with a Delta VFD. I...

Hi Guys, I think I am still a little confused except now I own a spindle that I think I got a pretty good deal on plus a new VFD. So from what I gather I must wire this with a 3 conductor 6g wire and...

Well that's a little promising plus I am not a ton of money right now so I will make it better in time. The spindle came today and I wasn't expecting a 300lb motor HAHAHA but it definitely looks good...
