    Re: x700 laser not firing

    I really can't get a good pic of the wiring without taking everything out of the cabinet and I'm not helpful enough to do that for you.

    Do you have a link to the specs for your psu? I'll try to...

    Set port address a la Mach3

    New to UCCNC. I have been using Mach3 for a while but the erratic nature of it is costing me too much. I cannot get UCCNC to communicate to my controller and I expect the issue is setting the Port...
  4. Re: RDWorks exporting .rd with wrong dimensions?

    Is there a way to do that via usb drive or must it be through a direct connection to the pc?

    Changed Vendor Settings step length graph and measuring length to 50...
  6. RDWorks exporting .rd with wrong dimensions?

    Re: x700 laser not firing

    Fixed!

    After much testing I found that all wires were doing exactly when they should. The laser would also fire when pressing Test on the power supply. So the problem must be the psu, right? Well,...

    Re: x700 laser not firing

    I can't seem to edit any more, so I'll have to double-post.

    The pair of green wires going to the laser PSU have continuity when all interlock switches...

    Re: Any experiences with CNC 6040 ROUTER?

    I've actually been able to run it for about an hour or so straight with no problems. The usb cord was shielded, but the shielding wasn't attached to the ground, making it completely useless. So I...

    Re: Any experiences with CNC 6040 ROUTER?

    I'm on the fence about one of these 6040 units. I'm new to cnc, so I don't want to spend a ton, but the newer 6040 with the "nowforever" controller seems ok enough for woodworking and glass etching....
