Oh understood. The cnc xpro v5 has a relay for the circuit for the "toolhead" it controls laser or vfd etc based on internal jumpers, also turning on an indicator LED on the outside of the unit.
So...

Which relay are you referring to? Vfd or controller? What can i do about it?

This controller 0-10v is an analog output specifically for vfds.
It also has 0-5v,pwm and rs485 outputs. Would just like to have spindle control so if those are easier to set up, im listening.
I...

Sorry for not being clear. im using a cnc xpro v5, not a g540. the ground and 0-10v output from the 'toolhead' plug on the xpro.

Hey guys, been looking to hook up my cnc xpro v5 controller to my cnc machine i have just built and am having trouble setting up spindle control. Coming from a G540, ive never set up the automatic...

hey guys, i recently got a job at a cabinet/woodworking shop and we have two SCM CNCs. both are having problems running and id like to save the expensive service call. The Pratix seems to be having z...

I was looking at the 2.2 because I could use 1/2" end mills. I also do aluminum work but realize that's also easy on the spindle. My problem with the 1.5 is that I still need 220 if I use a hitachi...

Hey guys, looking at upgrading my spindle on my cnc from a dewalt 611 to something more usable for acrylic. 16k rpm tends to melt it if I don't have air on it.
I've been looking at the Chinese...

MDF is not nearly as hard to cut as aluminum, can i see a pic of your cnc? sounds like machine is flexing or something is loose. When you cut the MDF its very little load so it doesnt show up, but...

They have a modified one that you have to delete lines manually but it's only a 3 axis. Even then it's not a 5 axis. Even with mach3

ok have done a lot more research on the subject, and even getting 5 axis code from mastercam will be a very big problem.
Turns out that since my 4th and 5th will be custom-if i buy from china or...

I have access to a machine shop which uses mastercam x4 that I am able to use. I could also build some parts to make these 4th and 5th which is why I was wondering how hard it was to set up.

No, I have 3 ports but am only using one. I've been on the forums there and the irc, got some help but they just say read the wiki.
Is there much more setup for a 5 axis? If the 4th axis pivots in...

Did anyone end up trying to cut aluminum with one of these? im very interested in a 5 axis and dont know if i should buy one of these and put a stronger stepper in it or make one from scratch.

Alright the time has come where i would like to make a 5 axis cnc, i have a 4x6 machine i made myself out of 8020, square tubing and flat stock.
I recently found a post about a 4th and 5th axis from...

What kind of laser is that?
i see people engraving only with .7w lasers, while slow, are these more affordable?
do all lasers over a...

My router is a dewalt 611. Frame is 1"x3" heavy duty 8020 with 3/8" thick rail bolted to it. I have room for the laser behind the y axis and room to bolt a plate on it if needed.so i have both slots...

Hey guys ive been looking at adding a laser to my current CNC, its a 5'x6' CNC i built myself mainly for wood/aluminum. I made it out of 8020, i currently have a router running on it and its pretty...

Ok just finished installing the 74HC14 and what an amazing difference!!! im at 24 ipm 1/16 with no missed steps! would like to know which way to jump the isos though on the 3 axis board.
Thanks...

Now we need to find out how to incorporate the chip mod and see what happens. im stuck at 15.2 in/m or 386mm/m before i start losing steps. but that my be the power supply and i have current set...

did you see a big improvement on the board when using the 74hc? i replaced my caps with 100pf and grounded my heatsink screws and noticed a HUGE difference in noise.I also removed the fan plug and...

what are the size and weight differences between the colt and the dewalt? amazon shows both are "compact" routers.
As far as the twisting- i am going to the metal supply store here in a few hours to...

Are the dimensions too big or is it just too powerful? and what do you mean the cutter and collet are not grounded and the return path may not work properly?

here are a couple of pics, excuse the mess i just finished putting the thing back together.
i found the dewalt 611 on ebay for 7$ more than the colt. Also found out they make precision collets and...

I can get the Bosch colt for about 93$ shipped and then I can get the collets from precisebits. I am still doing work on the cnc but I'll be sure to take the pictures and try to post them tomorrow. ...

Hey guys i built my own cnc a couple months ago and i use a 3 axis TB6560 board i have modded(details on another thread on this forum).
