Does anyone have the specs on the encoder that came with the Industrial Hobbies CNC kit?
Mine apparently has bit the dust and I need to replace the encoder, encoder disk and cable.
Jim
I pulled the servo out ot the housing. Some posts regarding these servos reported there were no markings or part numbers on the servo.
Mine is a Pittman brushed servo, model number 14207E306. I...
My Y axis servo motor bit the dust on my IH mill. Does anyone know where to get a replacement for this servo? Or does anyone have a spare to sell?
Jim
I took the motor to an electric shop. The found the starting armature was in the wrong position and fixed it.
Ksanalytical,
My mill does not have a neutral position per se, but I placed both levers out of the detents and had no problem turning the spindle by hand.
Runner4404spd,
I am kind of...
Yes, I am running the original motor. I had considered that the motor might have problems. It seems that it may have dead spots on the armature. Sometimes when I turn the motor on it just hums and...
I have a 12Z mill I bought from Aaron many years ago. I also got the CNC kit as well.
Within the past year I began to have a problem when I turned the motor on. If I have the speed set at 3 the...
Yes, MSM Mill Turn is a screen set for Mach3. But it is a little bit more. Mach3 Turn has no Y axis, so all it can do is control X and Z. MSM Mill Turn controls the Y axis, independent of Mach3....
Similar, but different. When I get MSM Turn, I will post a screen shot of it. Or, you can go to calypsoventures.com for all of the info on this product
Thanks for the reply. The IH mill is much more rigid than a Taig, so I'm not worried about pushing the Z axis out of tram. In addition, I will probably limit my DOC to .010, especially on long stock...
Recently I saw several YouTube videos of guys who figured out how to use their CNC mill as
a lathe with gang tooling. I have an IH CNC mill (now Charter Oak) so I quickly got very interested in...
I can only speak of my experience with Charter Oak. Actually, I bought my machine and the CNC kit from Industrial Hobbies when Aaron owned it. After using it for several years, I am still impressed...
Thanks for your suggestions.
I can rule out a grounding problem. I have only one ground and no branch circuits.
I have just one question before I tackle your other suggestions. What is a BOB?...
I should mention that my debounce in Mach3 is set to 10000, I am using shielded cable and have verified that I have continuity from the cable shield to the common chassis ground.
Jim
I have had an IH mill running Mach3 for several years now and it has performed very well.
After a 3 month break from running the mill, I cranked it up again and started getting a Reset, Limit...
I had a similar problem. Both X and Y axis would shift about .1 inch on the first move. I found that it was caused by line N0050. Never could figure out why. I always delete this line and life is...
Yoshique,
Thanks for the quick reply. I will test this shortly
A problem just recently cropped up in Mach3, V042.032.
I always modify any new gcode to eliminate any G00 moves immediately following a tool change. For example,
N0010 (Filename: COMPLATE.tap)...
Larry,
Spindle is R8. Here is the picture of the mounted 2E. I also have a 1E.

Thanks for posting metalfixer!
After I posted this I did run the gcode at a 2" elevation. Nothing seemed to happen on n0200. I did some more digging and found that there is a setting for axial...
I am trying to set up a tapping job with a Procunier 2e using a 1/4 20 tpi tap. In the tool setup I set the Reverse Multiplier to 200%, pitch to 20 TPI, Axial travel to 0, underfeed to 5% and RPM to...
I pulled the encoder disk. This looks good, all lines clean and clear, no apparent foreign material on the disk.
I am using Gecko 320's on my IH mill. A few days ago I powered up the mill and the Y axis servo immediately started moving the table, even though Mach 3 showed the limits needed reset. I disconnected...
I am experiencing a similar problem on my IH on the Y axis. The problem only shows up when using a large face mill, which tells me that the rotational plane of the spindle is not parallel to the...
I have acquired a Procunier 3E. I am not sure about programming the G Code for tapping; RPM, Feed, Peck depth, Retract and so on.
If someone here as done this, I would appreciate advice on this.
...
Ken,
Congratulations! If my experience is any guide, you will be very pleased with your purchase.
A PFF is attached showing the table and slot dimensions and spacing.
I have the standard...
I recently cut 3 parts and was within an average of .0004 of design spec.
Sorry, this was on a CNC version.

Tommy told me several months ago that a CNC lathe was on the horizion. Not sure what the status is. If they get it done, I'll be one of the first in line for it.
