I did have some issues when the pdb release button was pushed with the spindle running, It knocked the pdb nut balance rings out a bit, they are close now but not perfect, need to find one of those "roundtuits"
I have since made up a relay lockout setup for it, works nice for manual drilling etc. A simple phone cabe will work also on the factory setup.

The main problem I have now is the computer, windows, and Mach! I would spend some serious bucks for a dedicated controller if and when Tormach comes out with one.

I spent the day yesterday getting the spindle back in balance, at least as perfect as I can get it, I was getting the vibration pattern in the finish cuts again, I havent machined anything yet but the spindle is smooth at 5140. There is no sheetmetal vibration now, just a bit of a whirring sound from the fenner belt. I have a spindle lockout on the machine now so this spindle nut- PDB problem shouldnt happen again.
