Just done a little bit of research. Looks like the Ooznest relies on prewired harnesses and a bunch of configuration files to set machine parameters. However, I believe that this link might help.

Looks as if it may be the screw terminal between the two 3-terminal blocks but I can't quite make it out from the photo.

The wiring diagram you show says 380V, not 220V - and 11KW is a pretty...

I have recently been renovating a Denford Orac lathe, mainly replacing all the electronics, and which is now almost finished to the point that I can start using the machine. It has the original ASEA...

Decent drives, and I would be happy using 55V AC with those.

I have a home-built CNC router, roughly 1500x750mm cutting area, and the gantry is about 1m long and fairly heavy - especially with a...

It's interesting that the original design talks about using this kind of inrush limiter with toroidal transformers "up to 500VA." This surprised me as I have been cheerfully using toroidal...

It is a little-known and barely documented fact that there is one version of Mach3 that is able to support two probe inputs with independently-set parameters (active low, etc). It might well be...

Briefly - moving-bed allows the gantry to be part of the structure of the machine, so stronger, and can be braced for more resistance to vibration. The moving bed can be pretty strong and...

Ernest,

I'm based just outside Totnes and run both a CNC router (home-built) and commercial CNC mill, although my main interest is metal rather than wood. I'm reasonably handy on the electronics...

Not entirely a realistic budget for a machine like this, unfortunately. About 4-5 years ago, a friend of mine who runs a small business making engraved signs bought a 600x900 machine from Acctek. At...

I started with various bits of free software but had so much grief that I sprang for Vectric VCarve. Really good for woodwork, routers, and similar. Fairly easy to use - they have avoided a lot of...

Those terminals look like just two terminals with two tags on each. Look carefully at where they are rivetted into the top cap - they are probably a single piece of metal folded.

You didn't...

I'm with Clive - my first port of call would be the starting capacitor. It's not that unusual for one of these to fail and you've pretty much described the symptoms. If you can keep your fingers away...

I think it's too late as you've decided already, but I've just found the info I have on the Clearpath servos I have on my own mill which is similar in size to the WM18. I have a Wabeco F1410-LF....

I've been using one of these for a few years now. Stands a lot of abuse, and at that price when it does eventually blow up, I'll just bin it and get another one. I seem to remember getting the...

Andrew, I sympathise with you but this is a fairly common request, and the answers usually don't please anyone - the person who replies because they will have to tell you it can't be done, and you...

Not sure how much it helps but Plymouth College of Art (you did say south-west!) used to run evening sessions where they taught some CAD/CAM and gave you access to a few machines. I have a feeling...

I've been doing some digging and experimenting on this. I'm going to document my thoughts and findings just in case someone else - so many years after Mach3 was officially obsolete - happens to want...

If you wire two stepper drivers in parallel like that, there is always a risk that you will have problems. It is a theoretical risk (and I am not going to describe why it might happen) and in...

Simple question, but the answer's a bit more complicated...

First of all, fuses/MCBs are not really there to "protect" devices downstream. They might, under certain circumstances, but in general...

I used a Myford for years before buying this Smart and Brown. Never thought a DRO would be that useful on a lathe. Then I started using one. Wouldn't want to use a lathe without, now. Can't remember...

I've been cutting steel with my router for a while now, on the basis originally of "What could possibly go wrong?" Mainly bright mild (EN1) but more recently EN3B or similar from my local...

With care, it seems that you can use woodworking power tools for aluminium. Certainly folks on this forum have used handheld routers to work Al. I've used my workworking bandsaw for Al as well - was...

The important bit I think you've missed is the G53 which switches to machine, not work, coordinates for the G00 Z0 move. So the machine should go up to highest Z, irrespective of work coordinates....

Sorry - forgotten that bit! Trouble with following multiple threads over a period of time....

Looking back over the current problem, though, it is a bit odd if there is the same absolute error on...

And I've just had a look at the DMA860H manual! Yes, no fault output. One of the reasons I chose the EM806 was for this reason. So, looks like you will have to do without and just be a bit careful!...
