Invertek optidrives are excellent, I have fitted several in the past, easy to configure, built in Wales i recall, I get mine from Inverterdrive.com, really good tech help too there.
What do you reckon Joe, £170 Inc vat?Quote:

Thanks for the share Dave, the USB lead looks a bit pricey if you ask me, should get that with the drive no?
I didn't get any leads, never needed one either?
;)
Thanks guys, wouldn't have even known where to start if it wasn't for all the help on this forum!!
Please find attached updated schematics, fingers crossed 3rd time lucky? :encouragement:

Huanyang Vfd's have got much better in recent years and now come with half decent paper manual. However they still have longway to catch up with likes of Invertek or IMO etc.
Looks a good option to me!Quote:

KK, I'll email them now quickly and ask if its a gen Huan or not, though I quite like the look of the Invertek from Joe now I've seen them, I dont think the spindle's on their own cost that much now days do they, could be a nice investment if I was to pair them up using the 4 bearing version?Quote:

Looking good! I'm glad my schematic helped initially - I won't feel so bad now when I shamelessly rip off most of yours! You have definitely taken this to the next level! What are you using for connectors for your cy cable? I have struggled to find ones that allow connection to the shield...Quote:

Haha thanks Joe, I would have been clueless without your schematics and I cant say the same for when I shamelessly ripped off most of Deans setup!! :hopelessness: I haven't even started looking at the cables/wires yet so got all these problems still to come!Quote:

These are in the UK and not too bad on price Chalon's RT18 DIN fuse holders I've found that Chalon are good value and you get good service from them, or at least I've had good service...Quote:

I think most use circuit breakers on AC and fuses on DC...Quote:

But breakers still can be used for dc aswell, so still dont realy get it..

Yea I can second that, Chalon are just down the road to me in Haydock and as Neil says great service all round, I selected these RT18's for an up coming CAB build too and they look to be just the job, they also have an Chalon-Components-Ltd eBay Shop, as you would expect though things cost more there, like the fuse's for these holders :).Quote:

Its quite a bit better than my first official cut, which was accidentally plunging 5mm into the bed whilst doing an "air cut". I guess if your as daft as me, the starting test should be "air cut WITH NO TOOL, ESPECIALLY NOT A BOTTOM CLEARING BIT!!" :stupid:

Thank you everyone that helped, especially Dean and Clive for all of their patience! and again Dean for helping me out with the mounts and providing the code for the above :beer:
Next lot of tasks include:
- Building an enclosure/some sort of extraction to prevent this happening every run:
Attachment 20498
- Maybe filling this thing with sand as when you guys say the machine "starts walking", I always thought you were joking...but to my suprise it actually does!! X axis had just randomly stalled and when looking around, I saw the machine had "walked" back few inches and was rubbing the pulley against the wall!!

Hi guys, was wondering if you could help me out with compressors again please? As my old one is not going to be fit for longer term usage (ie, more than a day :positive:), I was looking into getting a new one. This is the one i'm looking at from a local warehouse: https://www.jtf.com/air-compressor-50l-2hp.html
Reason being, it's covered by a years guarantee so won't be as bad if it does overheat. I know the specs are limited, but in general, what do you think? Suitable for CNC chip clearance? Cheers.
Ok but noisy. If noise matters i would go for a piston pump and belt drive motor
Bit of a bump - friend has just acquired this machine but having issues with seeing the images in this thread - Lee, don't suppose you're able to take a look?
