    Hello Forum,

    So after reading RussMachine's comments I explored this issue some more. One of the things I found is that the Tormach's slowest RPM is 525. I had programmed my code in Fusion 360 to...

  23. Re: "Industrial" Brand CNC router Spindle descends on shut down?

    Yes, I agree. The CNC router I use to have was properly connected with a working E-Stop to Mach3. For some reason, "Industrial Brand" chose not to do this. It even states in their very limited manual...
  24. Re: "Industrial" Brand CNC router Spindle descends on shut down?
