Hi Peter,

Yeah, I grokked the purpose of VR1, I simply was noting the less-than-full 10volts.

Connection from the ModIO is from J15 to J3 on the Digispeed. J15-1 = J3-2 (GND), J15-2 = J3-1...

Hi Peter,

Since we're having problems with email, I'll use the forum for the update. Maybe others can benefit too.

I have put the connections back to my original configuration as you have...

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a bit specific for the general Electrical forum, but I don't see a more specific location unless it would be under VFD's. Anyway, here it is:

I have a Digispeed-XL...

Hi All,

Just a quick post to bring you up to date on the status of my VFD. I connected the unit (CORRECTLY) without the motor connected (the two legs connected to L1 & L3, no neutral connection,...

Hey Wildcat and Al,

Well, this continues to be a damnable and humbling experience. I work with tech stuff every day, and I have never so misread (maybe not read is more apt) a manual as I have...

Hi all...

I went to the shop and hooked up everything from scratch, with the two legs of my 1ph 240 to L1/L2 (jumpered) and L3. I clipped and wire-nutted the neutral wire. I also ran a dedicated...

Thanks Al,

Understood and thank you. I'll hook it up tomorrow and let all know if the breaker did the additional job of protecting the unit.

Regards,

David

Mactek,

Thanks for your response.

Seems like what you and Al said are in contradisction. L1 and L2 have a jumper. As I said in my second post, the docs do say "L2 will remain disconnected".
...

Well... that would explain my problem wouldn't it. I feel absolutley stupid.

There is indeed a jumper between L1 and L2 and I heartily questioned that--the idea of connecting the two legs of 240...

Hi All,

Prior to the recent holidays, I acquired a Hitachi SJ200-022NFU (capable of accepting 1 and 3 ph line power) and a Leeson 2HP 3ph 3400RPM motor.

I have 240 1ph service into the shop via...

Hi All,

I've had my IH CNC conversion kit in place for about 6 months now, and have noticed a problem. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

I originally had all three axes set to...

Mike

I had a similar problem a few months ago. Mine turned out to be parallel port drivers that XP wasn't happy with. It took some effort to solve the problem but in the end it required an...

Thanks for replying Phil,

This is a PCI Parallel Port card that has nothing to do with the BIOS. And when I look at the card in Device Manager, there is no option for SPP or any such setting....

Hi All,

I have a 3GHz machine with NetPos PCI ECP Parallel Port connected to the controller via a PMDX-122 breakout board. When I try to boot the PC with the printer cable connecting the PC to the...

Jay,

Yes, on the CG. I have the head off right now, and was going to use the bathroom scales to calculate the CG.

Your question of solving a nonexistent problem is certainly not far from my...

Hi All,

I'm not certain I'm interpretting the thread properly (I can't seem to visualize how a gas spring inside the column would address the problem I perceive).

For clarity, I see a problem...

Hey Key,

When I received my unit, the quill feed was locked up too. After working it a bit, I got the thing to start moving and then it loosened up. I took it all apart, cleaned and repacked. It...

Hi,

I picked up a SP 175-Plus last fall and have been using it quite a lot for various projects. What a nice machine. Little previous experience welding, but with a little practice I have been...

Gerry and Joe,

Thanks a bunch for your replies. It is indeed steady, and no spikes longer than the 1/4" limit, so I'll simply move forward. :wee:

Thanks for your attention!!

Hi All,

I've got a new machine for running Mach... trouble is the driver test shows a max Pulse frequency of 23,500-23,800 rather than the stated 24,600 objective. The question here is: Is this...

Hi,

Each ER series represents a unique configuration of collet, and each requires its own size chuck. The larger the number the larger the overall size. The ER40 is big enough that you can get...

Hi,

For network design, I use Visio. It has electronic, mechanical, etc categories of design graphics. Its easy to use and modify a previous schematic.

If you want to do an electronic block...

Hi Mike,

I'm sure you're not looking for a slew of negative responses, but for the record, "No, I've not had any trouble with my original equipment motor after 40-50 hours machine time. I...

Hi Under... No, I have worked the problem a bit, though I have not exhausted all options; just the time available to solve it. I'm going switch from carbie inserts to some sharp hi-speed tooling for...

Hi and yes, I too am having the same or similar problem on my Grizzly 9x20.

A "spiral-chatter" is my way of describing it, though there is no noticable chatter or noise during the cutting...

Hello DC

Glad you can join us. All experience welcome!!

I roam quite a lot, though I often read Industrial Hobbies, Mach Software, general machining and welding.

Later...

Mike, thanks for the input. While I followed Aaron's instructions quite closely, it is certainly possible that I over-did the lapping, though I truly doubt that I removed enough material to cause the...

MIke,

That's a good idea, and precisely how I'll move forward. I concur on all counts about the mill and Aaron.

Scott,

Heat is what I use on my shoulders as well... I've walked with a cain...

Hello All,

I too have an IH mill. Got it the first part of March, lapped the ways and am using it manually until I have the coin to acquire Aaron's CNC kit. The mill is a real chunk-of-a-machine,...

Yes, the more condensed view of sub-forums on the main forum page works better for me.

I would say that having the light blue band for the first 4 rows of sub-forums and then dark-blue band for...
