Consider Qualichem 251C as well. Tormach started selling it as it is very popular with the youtubers.
I think the problem/bug is related to using a spot drill instead of a chamfer tool. Until they fix the problem, try changing to a chamfer tool. There was a discussion on the facebook group.
I would love something like this for the 440, but obviously less HP. It would be great to be able to take 0.75HP cuts at any RPM, and not struggle with drilling, and no belt changes. Basically make...
I didn't clamp my toolmakers vise down well enough and took an ill-advised cut which dug the vise into the table before launching into my enclosure :( Left a pretty horrible ding in my table but...
It looks like the Noctua F12 IP67 fan can just run without the PWM (presumably just not connecting the PWM wire). Otherwise you could probably just put 5V on the PWM pin and run it at full speed.

The stand is slightly smaller than the chip tray but I definitely could have gotten a smaller stand. The stand has holes in the legs for bolting down, and I was able to use those for leveling feet.

I used a Little Giant machine stand that I paid ~$330 inc shipping from Amazon - link. It is rated to 10,000lb so no problem holding the little 440. I have the chip pan sitting on top of this. Note...
Do you have any pull-out issues since you're only using the one cylinder?
Nope, just install the PCIe card in the computer and then install the PathPilot operating system using the dvd.
I just used the 3" Starrett 130 machinist level which was ~$35 on Amazon. I did have my 440 leaned forward for coolant drainage but decided to instead pour epoxy to give the tray a slope while...
Technically you don't have to solder the tips of the wires (or solder on pins), at least for testing. Just snip off the messy wire on the end, strip off ~1/8" of insulation, then twist that exposed...
Pete, those are fantastic! Would you consider sharing the F360 files?
Haimer 3D taster ($440) if you need to find edges, otherwise a TTS touch tool with mechanical indicator ($51) for just finding Z. I like the usb height gauge ($240) for sending tool heights to...
I spent a LOT of time debating between the 440 and the 770. I went with the 440 for the reduced footprint and weight, and especially the reduced cost. Going with the 440 made it easier to find a...
I was planning on having a lower track for the sliding door. It is a dual track, with fixed side doors on the inside track and moving doors on the outside track. I'm hoping I can protect the outside...
I'm in the process of building my diy 440 enclosure and hope to have it finished in the next few weeks. The last of the parts I ordered are arriving this week. I'm using the chip pan as a base with...
It's a shame they didn't make it a $6k machine and put in the standard stepper drivers, an AC motor with VFD, and maybe better ball screws. I chose the 440 largely for it's size as it is much more...
Yep the machine worked fine after replacement. I haven't run any parts yet as I'm still building my enclosure, but the machine turns on/off and travels fine.I guess just a small number of people are...
Yep, same problem as me then. It is easy to switch out when they send you a replacement as the connectors the wires screw into can be unplugged. They're actively working to find the source of the...
My 440 died the second time I used it. It wouldn't come out of estop and the dc power supply at the back was reading 3V instead of 48V. Turns out back EMF from a stepper motor took out one of the...
The door safety switch on my 440 doesn't work. Did you ever get that working, MetalDawg?
Here is the white paper mentioned above - link
