Re: CNC 10 Issues
If it starts, the first thing you see on the screen is a little box that says... "No signal/VGA" Then it will go through its startup routine. Sometimes, it will display that box and not go any further. I believe there is voltage on the board because I've put a new power supply in with same...

CNC 10 Issues
I have a Millport Rhino 4/CNC 10 (SN 20234) that I've been running for the last 8 years or so with no issues. It is now presenting a crop of issues.. - Erratic startup. Sometimes starts, sometimes not. When it doesn't start, there are no lights illuminated on the console. - Loses communication with ...

Re: DXF Question
I just wanted to contour the circle to see how the operation works. I have figured out the answer to some of what I asked. However, it looks like the contour operation only follows the contour once around; no roughing features. As such it's not going to work in a situation where a lot of material ne...

DXF Question
I'm trying to use DXF import for the first time and find the CNC 10 manual lacking the necessary detail. Using the 'contour' function, I'm able to select a contour, but then the screen displays... End X: -6.3750 Y: 12.0000 Z: .2500 Angle 0.0000 Length 0.0000 Connect Radius 0.0000 Feedrate 0.0000 The...

Re: Motor Calibration
So far, I mic'ed a couple of 1-2-3 blocks and put them end to end with a vertical stop block at the end. I assume that would suffice for making an accurate measurement? I'm finding calibration rods to be very expensive for something I won't use very often. What's the least that can be spent for a re...

Re: Motor Calibration
I haven't done that yet. I'm waiting to receive a new indicator I've ordered before I put much time into the investigation.
I'll take a look at the table; thanks!

Re: Motor Calibration
This was a new question. I'm asking what accuracy would be spec'd on my Millport Rhino IV mill. I cannot find a spec for it. I realize that no-one may have the answer, but I thought I'd ask.

Re: Motor Calibration
I'm talking about calibrating the positioning. I want the DRO to accurately represent a known length of travel.

Motor Calibration
I'm running CNC 10 on a Millport Rhino IV. My measured DRO accuracy on the x axis appears to be in the neighborhood of .0009"/inch. I cannot find a spec on this mill, but I suspect the accuracy should be better than that. Can anyone tell me what I should be able to expect? I don't want to fiddl...

Re: CNC10 DRO Calibration
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm curious about Marc's backlash adjustment. Why is it necessary to run the table back and forth multiple times? It seems like one time should tell the tale. I still consider myself a novice, so I'm interested in what the difference might be.
