Would a vfd work to run the blade welder I was kind of leary on using a vfd to run that. Unless the blade welder is already single phase then I could just run the vfd for the main motor and wire the...

Ran the mill all afternoon into the evening. Seems to be working fine. I'm still going to get another on order though.

Well I figured it wasn't going to hurt anything to figure out how a stepper motor works. So I started to tear it apart. Have you ever had one of those (there is your problem) moments.

Hey guys,

I have been having trouble with my x axis motor not wanting to move.
If i don't use the mill for 2 or 3 days this happens to me. It's like it is froze up or something. I can...

I started out using legelzoom.com but came to realize quickly they were just in it for the money and not to follow it through. I in turn switched over to a patent lawyer and firm to handle the rest...

Well I did what I set out to do. Find a cnc mill, fix it, learn how to use it, design my own parts, patent the parts and move on to bigger things. On June 17th of this year my patent was issued to...

That would be great. Let me know what you can send drawing wise. Very interested to try this.

Will this fit the nm145 or can it be retro fitted for it?

So after moaning and groaning over the oem bob problems and trying to figure out why I couldn't get 10vdc. I figured out that it was hopeless on the the bob to fix it. I ripped everything out and...

As I am waiting for parts I decided to fix the trace that burned up on the new bob. Come to find out that the trace that fried is for the Y axis. So I soldered on a new wire to fix the trace on the...

Well I have control to the spindle now. I can start and stop it through mach3.

Only problem now though is no matter what rpm I give it to try and run at I can't get it to go over a few hundred...
