Neale - Thank you, very interesting thread. I hope you will post your results please. I have been down this road on a similar router with moderate...

Care to share your source? I've got various searches setup, but I've not seen any BT35 for sale for a couple months now.

I managed to buy 10 nice nikken collet chucks Take the expensive km22 collets. But they are very nice! £35 each with collet.

Size? Single or Double sided? Board Composition?

Take off the head. Weigh it. Get a gas strut that is rated just a little more than the weight of the head. Fit. Done. Or get 2 struts that...

I am very interested if you guys find out we can use settings to boost low rpm torque without burning up the motor. Do we have a reason to think...

Thanks, Jonathan. I'll have a search back through forum history - I hadn't remembered this one being discussed before. My own background is...

Fossilised somewhere on this forum (4-5 yrs ago) there's a thread/post where I've discussed how to get more torque from the common 2.2kW spindle and...

Hi John, You might need a USB to serial converter to work it

I agree as far as the motor is concerned, but the VFD has various torque-related settings and corresponding parameters, including things like...

Torque doesn't decrease with speed, Power does. Torque remains constant (at least in an ideal world, but there may be a slight variance due to things...

Bert - thanks for the comments. I'm not worried about spindle overheating as I'm only a small amount below its "official" minimum speed and the...

Today I discovered that my VDF was set on CCW rotation and the cutter used for MDF was a right hand one. After changing to CW on MDF I get the right...

i think you're on the right track I changed the gcode line where it slows down f346 to F646 and i moves faster. I just need to work out why now. But...

The gcode is telling it to run really slowly. That's about a sixtieth of the speed in the previous line. It appears to be happening when there is a...

this is some more code im running and it is doing the same thing what do you think X-16.223 A24.234 F8759.5091 X-16.233 A23.903 F20792.2569...

Both examples that you show freeze with very slow feed rates (F554/F373) compared to the preceeding gcode - can you confirm that these lines do...

been trying to get this working for over a week now . almost giving up on it

Hi Neale, Lower than normal speeds. Yes i had a bad experience actually. When i was trying to get 0-10volt working i had my spindle...

I remember Bouyan made some remarks a while back . He was not really positive. I think he said it was still better then supported round rail. ...

For controls... well it all depends. I have UCCNC / 300eth icw two cheap 5 axis boards. trying to delay buying UB1. Will you be running 3...

Yes it's I'm running some more code and it's still doing the same thing but at line 234

I'm probably talking the proverbial... but 490?, your Mach3 installation is licensed?

iv changed nothing from this

What speeds and feeds have you selected in the F360 CAM settings tab? In your screen shot, the machine speed drops right down at the line marked,...

stops at 490 line every time here
