    Re: My HY 3040 column cnc is broken!

    Ok, I will try again to continue.

    Re: Math help please!

    Thanks Russ, so I went with your first conclusion...it isn't set at 1/4. You were correct, It was supposed to be 1/4 but I guess I got confused on the dip switches. I changed all 4 drivers, then your...

    Re: Math help please!
