Re: DP4 connector help

Hi Tom,

That was the conclusion I'd come to. At least I don't have anything pending where I will be held up while the probe is out for service.

Michael

Re: DP4 connector help

Should I pull with the two red dots aligned? I'm pulling as hard as I can (bare hands, no pliers, stylus removed for safety) and it doesn't budge, whether the dots are aligned or not. Wiggling the connector while pulling on it doesn't help. Is the connector supposed to be able to spin freely like an...

Pulling the spindle motor is a huge pain unless you've got a high ceiling and a winch, but if you have your's out you should see a terminal box on the side.

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit

I've put Centroid controls on a 325 and my current 425. I suspect your 425 is older than mine as it has two cabinets instead of only one on the back. Does your data plate show the mill made by TOS in the Czech Republic? It appears they were still making them as model FV30 in modern times. My 325 had...
