its only a stone throw away pal haha appreciate it all the same

Estop switch from the tool setter should be connected in SERIES with Estop switch in your system.

Yes but do Taylors of Harrogate make a Yorkshire teabag big enough to go with it? Kit

That chopping board is amazing. I can see that it would take time to get all the settings, tool choice etc. just right to be able to turn out that...

And I agree 100% with yours! Everything is easy when you know how, that's why we employ specialists to perform specific tasks. I wouldn't trust a...

I’ll see if McVities want a 6m cnc.

Patience is not one of my virtues! But I’m currently trying some other things to expand my knowledge and experience. Just over a month in now and...

I've got one half that size but I can soon knock you a bigger one up if you got enough HobKnobs..:hysterical:

Just be mindful that they have both been doing this for many years and I'd bet my left gonad they didn't make the things you have within just a few...

The best thing I did was build an external box onto my shed workshop where the dust extractor is located and piped in. Got a cheapo remote plug...

I agree 100% with the sentiment of your post, but you hit the nail on the head here. Not that, as a tool, it's complex - yes they can be (and heaven...

Yes, mtmwood is another classic. Love watching that kind of stuff. Mesmerising. Need to step up my game.

I think you are probably right. It’s a shame the bloke operating it is a plonker.

Thanks for that youtube recommendation, I had not seen him before. The guy I had seen doing this on youtube is mtmwood....

OK, Im in Oxford, so not near at all. Hopefully you can get going.

Yeah, but your routers much better than his.:victorious:

That rings a bell, I'm sure someone else had a similar problem a while back. Was it monofilament cable? I've got one of these which turns a laptop...

Well, the stuff I like...... I suppose the king of it from what I’ve seen on youtube is broinwood. This little video sparked my interest in cnc. I’m...

Cheers, I’ll give it a go tomorrow. I’m just trying to get through the manual. Looks ok to be fair but the speed control looks a little complicated...

I’m in newcastle mate, if I can’t get up and running I’ll give you a shout, but should be ok. Fingers crossed

If your motor is only 4.5kW and you have some 5.5kW VFDs, you should be fine. The voltages look suitable unless I missed something. The old VFD was...

Would be useful to know where you are based. I've got some stuff but not sure if I'm nearby at all.

Well... I have JST-XH's in my purchase history.... and something visually similar in the shed that mates with the board... Yeah, I'd go with XHs.

Do you know what type of connectors they are?

I tend to use the screw terminals (with ferrules), bit daft since I have the connectors (I think). But screw-terminals allow you to maintain things...

Well I've sorted the issue. Turns out the new cat 5 cable i used to wire the drivers had a break it it somewhere. Used a new bit of cable and...
