    Re: DIY CNC Stutter - Intermittent Issue

    Excellent, thank you. I am going to go after all of the other items and throw the EMI filter as a last effort.

    I have the clips for proper shielding grounding. Getting those installed this week....

    Re: DIY CNC Stutter - Intermittent Issue

    Re-reading this and other threads with similar noise issues I see a common recommendation of adding an EMI power filter. Do you have a particular brand or source you recommend?

    Re: DIY CNC Stutter - Intermittent Issue

    The ground issue will get fixed this weekend.

    Re: DIY CNC Stutter - Intermittent Issue

    The wiring could use a bit of tidying up. So you recommend all DC power lines to be in twisted pairs? This may be a stupid question but is that pre-made or are you suggesting to do it manually?

    Re: DIY CNC Stutter - Intermittent Issue

    To be clear on the amperage topic (and to get my head straight): 3 phase motors are rated for total current that can be used for the motor. The VFD rating is also the maximum current that the unit...

    Re: DIY CNC Stutter - Intermittent Issue

    I appreciate the help. I will check the overload parameter, but I can say that the spindle does not get much above ambient temperature while using it. The 4A reading is for 10 or so seconds so there...

    Re: DIY CNC Stutter - Intermittent Issue

    I ended up going with a toroidal from Automation Technologies. Added benefit is it comes with the 5V output so I could get rid of the 5V wall wart transformer that was powering the breakout board. ...

    Re: DIY CNC Stutter - Intermittent Issue

    Thanks John,

    I had two multimeters hooked up (one to each power supply) today. Interesting enough I saw the voltage vary significantly. On the Y power supply it ranged from 41V up to about 55V. ...

    Re: DIY Router Stuttering/Stall

    Rails and screws are lubricated from the outside (not a great method I realize) about every other time the machine gets turned on. A lightweight oil is what I typically use. I have considered that...

    DIY Router Stuttering/Stall

    Hello,

    I have been struggling over the past few weeks on an intermittent problem with the router that I built about 6 years ago. I don't believe the problem has always been present but it has...
