G'day Keith, Good news - looks like we've got it sorted! I'll run production on Monday and confirm, but so far so good :) Here's a quick breakdown of what I did - hopefully it's of use to someone else one day. Turning the machine on and jogging around, I was able to create a few COM's errors in the ...

Thanks Keith, I'll attack that and report back.

Would you recommend updating software version prior to this?

Hi All! I've been having an interesting issue with my mill, and am wondering if anyone has seen something similar or has any ideas. As a bit of background, I build and service CNC equipment for a living, so have seen a lifetimes worth of issues, but this one is definitely new to me! I haven't been a...

Thanks Marty!

I found that I was still making a mess with the threads though until I managed to sort the spindle speed via the bodge above. It's entirely possible that I do have an incorrect setting - I enabled rigid ...

Hi all, During a retrofit I came across a VFD that had no manual, so tuning frequencies to analog voltage input was looking to be a challenge. This was a problem for the rigid tapping set up. As you know, proper spindle speed synch is the key to success here. After much head scratching, I came up wi...

Thanks Tom! Will get a report posted and let you know what we see!

Cheers,
