I bought my NUC from https://www.icubes.co.uk/intel-nuc-10th-gen-i3-10110u-4-10-ghz-slim-mini-pc-nuc10i3fnk.html
I went with them because they were prepared to try and get the AWOW system working...
A few threads are around detailing how people replaced their controller with new one, usually ditching the parallel port for ethernet and a mesa 7i92 interface card, however the mini PC they used...
The ethernet connection is direct with no router/switch. The cable and mesa card work fine as a Baytrail based mini PC controls the mill successfully, but the PC freezes at random intervals - a...
I would beg to differ. I have bought two different mini PCs - one from AWOW and an Intel NUC 10th Gen i3 and neither work with PathPilot 2.
PP appears to install on AWOW but will not leave the...
Does anyone know which Gigabyte Brix Tormach are using (https://tormach.com/pathpilot-controller.html)? I have PP2 already but would prefer to source the hardware in the UK because of the exorbitant...
There is no error as such while booting. After installing PathPilot 2 from the USB stick when you come to restart the computer it just goes straight to the bios screen. Anyhow I have included the...
I have been running my PCNC1100 series 1 with Pathpilot 2 on a Dell computer without any problems until recently when the computer broke.
Rather than getting the Dell fixed I wanted to move to a...

Hi Peteeng,
I am curious about your above statements. I am planning an epoxy machine build and no doubt using a single diameter grit will make things much easier. However, commercial machine...
Very interesting, what are the Tecnik part numbers for the motors?
Thanks,

Fairly new to tapping with the T&C head - 500 RPM, 0.5s dwell with m5 spiral point tap and 4.2mm drill. It works well except I get a build up of birds nest on the tap that I have to try and clear...

No expert myself but have a look at this video by NYC CNC on slotting.

Looks very interesting. How are you going to cope with shipping where the probe may spend several days in some arbitrary orientation?

Hi Grant,
The PCNC1100 needs 220V so just plugs into a standard wall socket. The only issue was (later) when I moved it onto a circuit with an RCD breaker the VFD (upgraded) would trip it, but...
Hi Grant,

I doubt very much if you will damage any equipment. The worst I would expect is to hear/see noise on radios/TV/audio equipment but I think you will be unlucky if this happens.

If you have the Emmerson VFD controller then there is a jumper you can remove that will stop it from tripping the RCD. The manual for the controller is online and it tells you about this. It worked...
Any views now you have been using it for about a month?

Insert taser tip into hole approx in the centre. Jog to min x edge and reset X DRO when taster indicates zero. Jog to max x edge. When taster indicates zero the DRO will read the length of the...
I have used carpet tape with great success. One problem with tape though is the cutter gets gummed up so can interfere with getting a clean cut. I have started using hot melt glue as an alternative...

Interesting feedback. Looks like the PII might have been a better choice as it has a rotary switch for axis selection so would you get that one instead or is there something extra in the PIII you...
