    Chris64,

    I left my ERR/RES tied high, and I have now got three out of four blown G320s. I don't know if these two facts are in any way connected, but I'm now looking at doing what I can to make...

    I've made 3 orders from him including a Kress spindle, and been very pleased with the service. Had a small delay on one order waiting for stock, but it was all fine in the end.

    How about machining a positive (out of pretty much anything, say PP, or Aluminium, or even MDF), casting a mold round it in Silicone Rubber, and using that to cast soft PU foam.

    For pumping coolant with chips/dust/etc in it you want a pump with a large clearance (between the bits that move in the fluid and the bits that don't). A pond pump will do, at least for a while, or...

    Mariss, thanks for the reply. If there is a problem with the PSU then it must be something subtle: :confused:

    Nothing else has burned up. :)

  11. A couple more things

    Firstly: until now my G320s have worked very well for me, and appart from my current troubles I'm very happy with them. I'll either be replacing them with more G320s or G380s if they come out in...
