I'm at a loss.... So, going back several months, I had a lathe that quit threading, rather started splitting leads. I verified that everything mechanically was in order, about 4 times actually. So, I decided to convert a larger South Bend lathe to cnc and simply get away from the Grizzly G9972Z alto...

No, there is no capacitor

I started having trouble with my spindle on my Grizzly G9972Z lathe. I'm using a DuraPulse GS20X -22P0 VFD driving a 2hp motor. Occasionally the spindle would not shut off and I would reset the VFD and it would start up again. Today it did not work (resetting) so I started looking at everything. I d...

No bent pins. I think I have a bad board. I can move the encoder to another board that I bought at the same time and it works.

I'll pull the shroud and check. thanks!

I'm doing two builds side by side. Both lathes, same encoder, same DB10 connector, same cable, same laptops, both new Acorn boards (reports attached). Downloaded the software at the same time. Both encoders will work on board 5960 but neither will work on 5265. I used schematic S14976.r4 for the pin...

I'm sorry. I'm using Stepperonline DM860T with NEMA 34 steppers

I received a new stylus for my KP3 today. It's been a while since I used the probe. Moved to the center of a bore, probed it, got the information that the probe was complete, unplugged the probe and got a "Probe Tripped" fault. Rebooted, restarted the software, probed another hole, same th...

My probe suddenly quit working. I verified the wiring, the inputs which I did not change but White goes to 6 and red to 7. Black is connected to a com port. Both of the lights are green on inputs 6 and 7. The probe connected, the probing cycle starts but the Probe light does not come on. Any suggest...
