Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit

Installed the replacement 1.3kW servo motor from DMM. I’ve ran the same program that I was having issues with, without a tool and the spindle stopped. It runs great, with faster rapids. This machine is finally where it should be. It’s unfortunate they have so many quality issues that make it past wh...

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit

DMM agreed to replace the motor. They wouldn’t ship until my motor made it back to them. Took the USPS two weeks to get the motor to DMM. They shipped the replacement the next day. I again want to emphasize they have been great from a customer service perspective and have done right by me after the ...

Re: Two Machines, Two Wireless MPG's

I believe the way it work is the antenna/receiver and MPG are a pair from Centroid. I didn’t do anything. Worked out of the box.

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit

I have fought an intermittent servo fault on the X axis since I got this machine running. The only real work around I found was to keep lowering rapids and acceleration. I finally got to swapping it with the Y axis servo today. Of course, the problem followed the motor. I can honestly say, I don't r...

Re: Hardinge Accuslide Gang Tool Lathe Acorn Conversion

Spent some time sorting out the Hardinge CNC lathe. Turns out the servo tuning was the issue. Got it making a little 1/4-20 bolt kind of part. It's a little slow while I work things out, but it's working reliably! I need to figure out how the chamfer cycle in intercon works. Kicking my butt currentl...
