Thanks for all the help getting PP installed. Everything is working great with the help from Brian. The only problem I have, and it seems minor, is that when I exit out of the PP software it says...

Hi, I'm trying to get PP (1.9) working on my Novakon Pulsar. I'm following the instructions posted here: PathPilot on Non-Tormach Wikia | FANDOM powered by Wikia. I have installed PP from the DVD and...

So as I was taking the tram measurements with one of those dual indicator edge pro things that I borrowed from someone, I get about a 0.002-0.003" reading in x, and about perfect in y. However I...

Great. So just one wire to pin 15 and the other to ground.

Also - did you guys do anything to tram/square the head to the table? I've only done that kind of thing on an old bridgeport machine. It...

I just bought a probe for my Pulsar. This one here: https://www.kurokesu.com/shop/precision_instruments/TPA2 . From the specs it seems like it was a decent compromise between the cheaper probes you...

Does anyone know if PP 2.0 will work with the motherboard that ships with the Pulsar? Mine is an Asus N3150I-C with integrated graphics.

Does anyone have a good guide for this? Did you find it necessary on your system? I've only really had experience doing this on a Bridgeport style machine. I assume it's done with shims of some kind...

I called Novakon and they're going to take care of it. John said that was way too much eccentricity in the upper part of the spindle. Glad he was so responsive.

I would have to disagree that it's...

Right, I get that the PDBs out there are better than the LDBs. My worry now is the drawbar "rubbing" issue I'm describing. Look at the upper bore of the spindle in the original video, it's way off...

I'm wondering if the offset bore for the drawbar (can be seen in the video) is causing the drawbar to bind. It would have to fit at an angle when a collet was installed and it would rub in the upper...

I recently purchased a Novakon Pulsar a couple months ago, when I got around to setting it up the lever drawbar (LDB) acted "sticky" and the spring didn't return it to vertical (hadn't even run the...

Yeah, I only had mine off because when I first tried it, it seemed "sticky." When I took it off to get that video, I found that the cam shaft was slightly bent, and even though it was supported by...

Here's a video of it I took if it helps diagnose. Thanks again.

I just got a new Novakon Pulsar last week and finally turned it on today. I removed the lever drawbar assembly before I did this as it seemed to need adjustment and I didn't want to risk running it...

OK, so the computer in the unit itself is a quad core Celeron and it's a "micro itx" form factor with only a pci-e expansion slot. That would mean I need the 6i25 mesa card, correct? Does that one...

OK I may do that. I am just curious though if there's boards that PathPilot won't work with.

Does anyone know if Sandy Bridge is a problem? The computer I was looking at would also be used for...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I just purchased a Novakon Pulsar from their sale offering. When I bought the unit a few months ago, I was unaware of the possibility of running PathPilot, so I ended up...

So, after looking around at a lot of different smaller mills, I've kind of settled on the Novakon Pulsar. One question I can't quite answer though is how loud the thing is in operation. It's being...
