Good idea. Thanks

I'm selling my PM728 CNC mill. Went a different direction. This is a nice setup. Includes the following: Precision Matthews PM-728 Ultra Precision Ball Screw Kit Centroid Acorn Centroid Pro CNC License(i'm assuming its transferrable) Centroid CNC Pendant C86accp Board Glacern 4" Vise 350/500 Wa...

Hi Jim, I really like your 2hp mod. The PM motor is really disappointing where it bogs down so much. Are you still liking the conversion to 2hp? What about the fitment of a power drawbar, still enough room? I'm pricing out doing the conversion to 2hp. Can you send me the part numbers of the bearings...

I just happen to stumble across the release notes for V4.64. There was a fix for the z-ref with a similar error to what I was seeing. Updated from V4.5 to V4.64 and it didn't fix it.

Thanks Marty and Jim! The E-stop does reset the drive fault. The far left jumper was the only one I set to 'soft'. I changed the others to 'soft'. ooops! One other question: The wire from Acorn H1 IN5(Drive Ok Signal) to C86ACCP NC(Fault) or NO(Active)? 'Drive Ok Signal' active high or low? Not as m...

I've used the CNC kit from PM and have it installed. C86ACCP board wired up. For my bench testing I install everything on a MDF board for layout purposes. After everything is golden I'll transfer to 1/8" 5052 sheet and into the steel enclosure. Servos are 2-CPM-SDSK-2321S-ELS and 1-CPM-SDSK-342...
