I picked up one of these machines in hopes to bring it back to life. I have an acorns board on order and hoping to reuse the OEM servos with Gecko G320x drivers

BUT I have no idea how to figure...

I'm looking to retrofit this thing. Anyone have a wiring diagram?

It's gutted now but the wiring from the lathe control box to the round connector is a mess. Trying to sort this out
Side note:...

I'm starting the same project on the lathe. Do you happen to have any pics of what you did? I'm looking for a wiring diagram. I can't figure out how they did it. Green, white seem obvious but 3...

I have that but I think mine is really outdated. Whats on the machine now is the 2.2.4
I'll have to check

I mean license with Pathpilot
I haven't found the admin setting backup yet

Any idea on how to set it up as a raid1?

I'm a little of a linux noob but I will play with it. Thanks!
What command in linux would I use to get the specs of the machine as far as cpu info. I already opened it to see the rest.
And I can...

Is there a way I can alt/tab or have another window open with my feeds/speeds spreadsheet or gwizard?
Or even fusion360 if I upgrade to a more powerful computer?
Would like to do as much as I can...

Any face mill you recommend? The fly cutter scares me a little
The collect in the spindle says R8 that holds the TTS. So are those different ?

Perfect.

What do you recommend for flood coolant? Full or partial synthetic?

Also what about this? Any downside to going to a 3" even if facing a stock that's smaller? The 3" shell mill is...

Anyone find a small rolling tool cart that can be shoved under the chip tray when not being used? I got a small space and trying to use it to the fullest.

Do you think I can make a 1/2 size fixture plate and just add onto it later down the line? I like to have a little buffer above the table so I don't dive into it

I have a small fly cutter now but scared to use it. They do just seem unstable. I would rather get a face mill

Hmm I thought it was 3/8" slot. I'll call tormach to find out.
I know a few guys...

I have one set of parallels but probably grab another

It does come with a jog shuttle and a passive z probe. Not even sure if the passive probe does material height.

I added some stuff to my...

Looking into a used 770.
Total newbie with minimal experience with my Taig but this popped up and I may jump on it.

If I get a 770 what minimal tools should I be looking at? I plan on mostly...

Best way to square the stock in the vise without hitting the parallels?
To measure top of stock to the vise use the (not sure what it's called) the small piece that comes out the back of caliper?

I have a few ways to figure this out but curious what the real machinist do

What’s the machinist way to determine how deep you can cut without hitting the vise?

2nd op question. So say I want...

Playing with my taig cnc mill and cutting aluminum. Currently set to 10k rpm on the spindle, if I drop it down 1 groove it’s 6700rpm, then 4200, 2600, 1650 and last 1050rpm.

What would I gain from...

Yep! and it went right to the main breaker.
I said F it and threw it out in the trash and bought a new power supply. Works good now

Is it safe to keep doing? It was blowing the 100amp breaker in the main that feeds the sub panel

Eh I don’t see a way to upload the pics yet

So long story short here. I got this maxnc mill a year ago and it's a piece of ****. Literally motor started on fire, second motor DOA, 3rd motor (consew) died after a few hours. TinyG controller...

lol I feel dumb. just had to click on the threads to change it to metric. lol 1 problem solved

When setting up soft limits. do you set machine zero to the back left most 0 point? And should I zero...

Won't let me PM you.

On your taig, is it ballscrew? This one is with the flashcut 6amp motors and 2.5amp cards.
What should my settings be? With the setting as pictured I did a 1"x1" box but it...

I'm up and running on the taig now. I have a few questions, think you can help me out?

I still haven't figured out the difference between a 'good' controller and a 'not so good' one.
So I can get a cheap breakout board for $60 and drivers for $15each. Say $105. It's good for 3 or 4...

I have a taig CR ready mill (2 of them actually)
I have a setup that is ready to bolt onto one of them but the other I have nothing. Looking for recommendations on something (inexpensive) just to...

Yeah I'm giving up on it. I seems to be a decent little machine but the anti back lash nut thing drives me nuts. I had to replace the 3rd one and the acme screw. The maxnc support is non existent. ...

I have a taig mill on order. What are some must have accessories?


Also what's a good budget kit (motors, power supply etc) for a cnc conversion. I plan on swapping my current stuff over to the...

Hmm, I'll have to message you once I get it up and running again. Be nice to work with someone who knows it better than I do.
I did disable some of the m codes in the software

I heard there is a way to make them spin faster on the controller. Mine goes up to 4200rpm, do you know how to make it go faster?
