Depending what you want to cut you may get away with a Denford Router, though it isn't the recommended route it would give you well over 9" x 9" you are looking for. Most of my work is engraving or...

You will have to look for something other than a Denford if you need to cut 9" x 9". The starmill has a capacity of 160 X 90mm and the Triac 290 x 150 so both are too small.

The Starmill will actually fit in the back of a 2008 Fiesta Style - been there done that.

Do you mean the Jog Panel? If so:
There is option to turn off automatic jog panel pop-out, Configuration/Appearance/Disable automatic jogpanel popup checkbox.
If disabled then the jog panel pops...

I will second that, I have just moved from Mach3 to UCCNC,it ha a multitude of built in probe routines and should you need to restart a program mid way through it takes seconds compared to Mach3.

Have now found out there is a jumper removed from the BOB which disables the onboard relay and enables the port used for the Spindle 5.

Com and run have just over 9 volts all the time

Yes

Now I am confused. Pins 16 & 17 (spindle on/dir) go from BOB to spindle 5 board but it's the sprint that starts the spindle and I can't see how the sprint gets a signal to start the motor.

Don't expect to want reverse and using the BOB spindle output seems easier than trying to activate the Spindle V5 CW/CCW relays.

That's right - the spindleV5 is controlling the speed but the on/off is controlled via the Sprint 400. Don't ask me why it was done that way.

Instead of getting the CW relay switch working would...

Sorry, always closed = zero resistance, I was expecting to get a reading of 1 with the spindle off in mach3 and 0 when turned on. I did at one point get the VFD to start the motor when power was...

So new spindle mounted and am able to run it manually from the VFD.
Have put a connector using the 0-10v speed control output from the spindle v5 board and the two wires that fed the run and com on...

Thanks Doddy, I was already considering fitting of a connector system.

Looking at how the system is set up at the moment I am a little bemused. The motor control relays on the Spindle V5 aren't...

Hi.

My Microrouter has a Cable Porter router fitted. I have worked out this is controlled via a Sprint 400 board with the RPM control coming via a Spindle 5 Digital tp Analog converter outputting...

Thanks for that it's ust what I am aiming at.

I probably can't afford quality so would settle for Chinese.
