I never did pipe threads on it but it can do it. In you can set the start diameter and the end diameter of the thread. All you have to do is figure out what taper you want and you can cut any pipe...

I gave up on the electronics and motor. It seems that something like that happened to my machine. Right now I bought a 1hp marathon black max 3 phase motor and a vfd to run it. The vfd can be run by...

Two things I have figured out. The manufactures of these machines are lucky to have great people on cnc zone give them free tech support.

The other thing is I am ready to give up on these crappy...

I remover the sa sb and sc wires and checked with my volt meter on each wire to ground and got 1 volt to .75 volts. No change at all when I rotate the motor.

I'll do a little more work on it today. I figure the hall sensors need replacing and I need to bridge some wire across connector 3 on the push button board to make it think the chip guard switch is...

Grizzly tools will not have the LCD for the sx3 for over a month. If this part is needed I am done. I'm going with a vfd unless someone can tell me where to get parts quicker in the USA.

I just tried this and get about .75volt to 1volt on all three hall sensors. I guess they are blown. The ground to 5volt checks out right around 5v. So the power is good supplying things.

One...

I put the new power board an the new push button board in and the motor still doesn't work. I didn't replace the LCD display because they were not in stock. The LCD is from my older sx3 mill. All the...

I'll try and test them tonight or tomorrow. Tracking numbers show that my power board from grizzly tools should be here by Friday. Hall sensors if I need them will also be here by Friday. Maybe I'll...

My control is not working right now. Got a new one on order. Can the halls be checked with 9 volts like Neal was talking about? Or do you have to check it with 5 volts?

Shorting the motor windings shows that the windings are good. Checking the hall sensors sounds just a little tricky. Can a volt meter be used just as east as the LEDs?

I'm guessing that the hall sensors are the A1101EUA-T or the A110LUA-T. I'm also guessing that the difference between the two of them is how much heat they can take?

I would like to know how to...

Been doing some reading and now I have to wonder if the Hall sensors could have gone bad on the motor too. Thinking I should get some replacements just in case. Any idea how to test them and where in...

I'd ordered the board from Grizzly tools. So the piggy back board is on the newer ones to take the place of the electronics that used to be on the older front panel boards? I think I'm learning a lot...

I looked around eBay and didn't see one that runs on ac. Could have missed it due to not knowing enough about them. It would be a good thing to keep an eye out for a good deal on one on eBay as a...

I guess I will do that then. It really sounds like when it is working it works great. I'll order up the parts today and I should have them for next weekend to install. Then I'll try and sell off the...

So your saying that all I need is the matching power board and the front panel board from Grizzly. Everything else should work fine. How about the digital readout? Will the old one I have work with...

I've been doing a lot of reading on the AMC drives and it seems they are just to expensive. Around $500 and up. I could buy a new power board for the mill for less. Everything I am reading seems like...

Here is a 3 phase motor that I am thinking of.

MTR-001-3BD36 | 1 hp AC Induction Motor: rolled steel, 56C, 3600 RPM

Then maybe a TECO N3 drive or maybe this one.

GS2-11P0

This motor is...

Al, yes the motor I put in was dc. The original motor is the brushless motor. I wonder if it would be cost effective to use the stock brushless motor or if I am better off going with something else...

Ran some test cuts and my cheap motor controller overloaded and stopped in the middle of a cut. Tried my so called good motor controller and it makes the machine sound like it has really bad splines...

No tool changer yet. Manual on will work fine for now.

It is a brushless DC motor. Yesterday I put a 1/2 hp DC motor in the machine. Today I hope to test it out. So far it seem under powered.

I really like the idea of putting a vfd and 3 phase motor...

So it sounds like you can't just buy a replacement board? I'd rather not go through repairing parts and find that it still doesn't work. I have a 1/2 hp dc motor made for small wood lathes. It looks...

Hi Neil,

I have been reading everything I can on these forums and elsewhere. From what I have read here if you can't help me then no one can. Here are two photos of the board. The damage seems to...

I guess I will reply to my own post. The Grizzly board is not the same. Don't bother getting one.

To late, I already ordered one and found out your right Bret.

Sorry to hear that Bret. I guess...

Posted for help and no answers. Guess no one is interest in syil X3's anymore.

I am not getting an answer from syil so I ordered a spindle control board from grizzly tools. To me it looks like it should be the same part. If not I hope they take it back. Over the weekend Ill...

I bought a used Syil X3 mill that the spindle motor was not working on. The Lcd also does not work. I removed the front panel on the head and can see some burned out parts on the board. I can only...

Never had that problem with the Buck chucks holding what ever I put in them. If worst came to worst you could remove every other jaw and use it as a 3 jaw chuck. 4 Jaw chucks are another option if...
