My fault I should have mentioned it was not new install. I have opened two g540s (I have another that had issues with the Y axis I have that needed repair that I havent yet sent in) and replaced the...

I have been cutting on this machine and controller for far more than a year. It ran fine for over 6 hours the day before on a 4 axis cut program. Because i can take the A axis cable and swap it with...

Not a cable at all. when i switched motors the first time on the A axis I used a different cable. And when I switched the X and A axis plugs at the controller the x axis then growled instead of...

The program did not cut properly, shortly after starting the A axis stopped working. The A drive motor just grunts but doesnt turn. Swapped out motors with a spare same results. Switched the A and X...

CHecked the emergancy Estop button, checked the power supply for voltage, pulled the motor connectors off and re plugged them back in. 2 days later I walk out to the shop and turn it on to and it...

I was running a cut program and noticed it had gone into emergancy mode active. When I checked the back of the controller the fault light and all the lights by the individual axis connections are...

check out cadjunkie rhino tutorials on you tube. He starts with the basics and goes from there. More tutrials here http://taubmancollege.umich.edu/digital_tech/tutorials/ and here...

I too have had problems that I have attributed to the G540. I have 2 mills both bench tops, the first one is one of the deepgroove Taig Packages I picked up used. The second is home built off the...

I drew 2 rails and the profiles for the ends of the neck, one arc and one 3 sides of a rectangle. "Sweep 2 rails". "Extrude surface" the 3 sides of the rectangle. move that surface slightly apart...

You can enter Y0.000 in the gcode lines when it posts the gcode file.at the beginning. I have done that. For moving in all axis? when cutting two or more sided parts that need to be rotated and cut....

YOU can try novedge The Graphics & Design Software Store and see what they have to offer. Im afraid the price levels are protected. I also believe awerby is a reseller and may ber able to help you....

if you save the file in a format that can be posted some one could take a look at it and see where the problem lies.

WHy not path your first side, select rotate table 180 under 4 axis, simulate it. then path your second side? You can post each operation seperatly so that it cut one side and then stops. Flip the...

In Mach 3 under the "config" tab >toolpath > check the box for "use radius for feed rate". I have seen screens where it said use diameters but mine says use radius for feedrate. Try that and see if...

Third. I have cut larger parts on my Taig mill than the work table i use. You set up your work the same as always. then you can either make indexing holes and use them with pegs to move your work....

Second you need to read and watch the tutorials on Mach again. YOU dont need to home your machine to the switches for it to cut your program. It does help to tell mach where things are at but it will...

Your trying to combine two seperate things into one. You tell Rhino cam where you want the part to be located in your part box or cylinder. You tell it where you want the stock box to be located by...

Harry you need to ask this on another thread so as not to hijack this one. Mike

Your machine was built on a sherline lathe. Sherline.com also has instructions part diagrams, free vidios etc
The tail stock is a 0mt (zero) and the head...

I guess i need to know what step is next to make the lathe workable. Find the card number? pull the encoder and see which one it is? I know I will need 2 power supplies, an enclosure, and some kind...

I have an extra 1hp 10,000rpm ac/dc motor that will fit the taig, I thought that I might eventually convert it also. I hadnt thought about threading on the Mill. i do have 4th axis capabilities. Im...

I agree on leaving it online. There have to be more and more of these coming up needing alternative solutions to going back to the Original manufacturers. There are cheaper solutions. I figured the...

Let me start with I am new to this but I do have a taig cnc mill with the gecko g540 running Mach3, I also have 2 Sherline manual lathes besides the spectra light. I have only the turning station...

Jeff I have just bought a spectralight that has the 90v 5000rpm motor and the minirak control card with an encoder ran off the headstock. I would appreciate any help you might give to be able to hook...

Im working on one now. I bought one with out a controller box either. Does yours have an encoder that is geared off the head stock? You may have to take the panel with the Estop and speed control...

I am very new to cnc and I have a question of sorts.

I happen to have a Dayton 2m191 1hp 10,000rpm AC/DC motor. The motor is shorter than the 1/4 hp that came with the mill (7.5in) and very...

Im probably the last person to take advice from but this is what I did. I used some aluminum 2in wide 1/4 thick flatstock i had laying around for the z upper limit and the x axis switches....

Deepgroove uses a sherline rotary table, he adds a taig 3 jaw chuck if you want it. IF you would like I have an extra i can sell you with or without the chuck. It has his current 280 stepper motor...

It would be rare to find a motor over 5hp that would run on single phase. How ever 220 outlets have different amp rating depending on their original intended use. You should have an electrician...
