GMJERIC, were you able to get this resolved? I had a very similar issue a couple days ago but was getting error 40 instead of 80. I think they may point to the same error though. I assume your floppy...

Could someone in-the-know tell me what Parameters 299 and 510 are? I was looking through a report file and saw them but can't find any documentation. Thanks

Backstory: I left my CNC on over the weekend so I wouldn't have to reconfigure every work offset after powering down. Granted they may only be .002" off but I couldn't afford that. Needless to say,...

I suspect you've got it figured out already regarding the height but I was on the phone with Sportybob today and he said they'd fit through a 7' door.

Regarding storage, if you can't run a heater...

cnctechml, mine is CNC7 but I think your explanation is the closest. I did mistake the PLC input for the encoder input after further research. Parameter 35 (maybe, I don't remember) is set to 4 but...

My M400 has the RPM display and it shows a number resembling the actual spindle speed but this signal is not coming from anywhere. Per the parameters it mentions a spindle encoder tied to Input 4 but...

Thanks for the pictures and guidance Keith. I've got a CNC knee mill so raising the knee up to work on short parts with short tools gets in the way of moving the console into a reasonable location.

Having the control box on the pivoting arm is beginning to get annoying moving it out of the way, not being within reach for zeroing hour part, etc etc. I'm thinking about building a pedestal and...

Scour BidSpotter auctions. If you have a way to transport and unload one, you should be able to get into a CNC knee mill for about $2000. These auctions are frequented by resellers and they won't...

Thanks Marc. Shortly before posting the original post, I read about the position entry field but it just didn't click.

The best answer would be to talk to a lawyer but if you've substantially changed the likeness, I would say you're probably okay. If your art is in color, I would try to avoid using the representative...

I'm surprised no one replied to this yet. Hopefully it's not too late. I've heard several people mention Sentry Insurance. I don't have a policy through them but probably in a. couple months I might....

Is it possible to find the center of a bore with a manual probe on an M-400? I understand one could touch off one side, zero, touch off the other side, take the measurement and half it on paper and...

I've got a Supermax YCM-40 knee mill that came with a sheet metal splash guard. There are some items I want to machine that won't fit within the splash guard. I'm contemplating removing it to free up...

I forgot to mention that I didn't install NETBEUI so I don't know how it compares on my machine, only what I read as posted previously.

I ran MEM while the server was running and stopped. While...

Awesome. Thanks again.

I haven't run that command but I'll look into it tomorrow. From what I may have read somewhere else, Net-BEUI uses like 170k and TCP-IP uses around 370k but I'll verify.

I'm not using Mastercam so...

I know this thread is 4 months old and hopefully you've found your solution elsewhere but I thought I'd chime in and maybe help out.

Because of the diversity of your machines, a software option is...

Marc,
See attached PDF and Zip. The PDF is the write up and the Zip contains all of the files I used, separated into various disks. The write up is a simplified version and the exact steps aren't...

I figured out how to do TCP/IP networking with my CNC7 M400 to communicate with my Windows 10 laptop without the use of a Virtual Machine. I'm in the process of doing a write up on how I did it and...

Thanks again for the info. One more question. I read somewhere the factory motors are an IEC frame. Did your Baldor bolt right up or did you have to make an adapter plate?

Fastest1, thank you for the info. What motor did you use and what is your max RPM now?

I've got a G4003G and I would like to upgrade the motor to 3 phase but at the same time increase the HP and resheave it for higher spindle speeds. Has anyone done something similar on the G4003G? I'm...

I've gotten starry eyed watching all the Tormach lathe videos but I think for the money, something better is probably available. However, the Tormach lathe will do exactly what I want it to do...

Hey Dad. Nice job on the mill.

Jay

Cory,
Thanks for the reply. I have been too busy with life to think about cnc lately. I have glanced over the pro4896 kit and I am pretty interested but it will be a few months until things slow...

Thanks for the quick replies guys.

Hello all,
First off, a small introduction. My name is Jay and I'm in Norman, OK. I have very little (~0) experience with CNC, however I'm a quick learner. I've started doing research towards...
