If you guys dont mind will try to explain here some stuff in detail and offer some tips. Even if you are an advanced 3d print user you may find sth usefull

I use Simplify 3d and IMO is worth the...

You can try this solid carbide spiral conical ballnose (tapered ball) mill bit, double flutes upcut spiral, made for precise detail work of 2D/3D carving. Tapered ball nose CNC bit performs better by...

No need to do either of those as it's very easy to let the VFD operate it.

There is relay built into the VFD which can be set up to turn on/off when spindle spins. By default it's set to operate...

Another thing to remember is to use the correct cable between the drive and motor. I just repaired a machine where the original builder used microphone cable (2.2 Kw Hy water cooled...

There is no problem with starting the VFD with the spindle disconnected .BUT don't ever disconnect the spindle with the VFD running.

Always make sure you fasten (clamp) the spindle cable to a...

No need to have the motor connected. I usually only connect the motor once i have programmed the drive and tested the "settings". Most important thing is to make sure you have the motor connected...

Personally I wouldn't connect the screen at the spindle end - it's for screening the cable, the no.4 (E) connection is for earthing the spindle casing. At the VFD end you twist the screen and the 4/E...

Have you checked to see the the 4th pin is connected to the case of the spindle (some are and some not).

You can remove the 4 screws from the socket and gently pull the socket upwards about 25mm ...

0.75mm2 ought to be OK, the tables I've looked at give it a current rating of 12A @ 30deg ambient which even at 220V is enough if the power factor is anything like reasonable. Farnell do...

If you can change the order then do so because 2.5mm will be too big for the connector. Even struggle with 1.5mm.
Don't need 2.5mm either unless your running really really long lengths. 1mm is...

Compression bit

Ah ok. Well if you will have justa minute maybe try to replicate what I have shown in the video. In my drive the front can move without turning the stepper motor. I thought harmonic should be...

First of all a message to Lee, this bloody forum software is awful ! If you type a long reply, it is too easy to lose your typing by pressing the wrong key. € was sought and all my reply was...

looking at the circuit diagram I linked to

this a simplified diagram of the low voltage supplies to the control circuit

R17 is the large resistor on the board

its value is 15 K...

I had excellent results by putting the whole thing in an 18mm plywood box, lined with foam on inside. Hinged top with clips and a foam draught excluder seal. A 4" hole at the back is lined up with...

I have printed with great result.Small as GT2. I will advice PETG pulley. PLA will work also. ABS not. Nylon, even better.

HDT5 15mm will work great

Funnily enough I was just about to post thanks to A_Camera for starting this thread and also the other major contributors, as this discussion has very nicely dovetailed with Boyan's Cheap Offline...

I use Aslan 85[?] masking film, I buy it from Dorotape.

I use the 3 Year Floating License Subscription of HSM advisor which includes the FS wizard for android. I still have to try the FS wizard though.

I believe that's best for starters, as the ...

Edited: Here are the Schneider ATV12 settings for the Chinese 2.2kw water-cooled spindle:

bFr - 50 Hz
HSP - 400 Hz
nPr - 2.20 kW
nCr - 0.8 LN (8.0 A)
Allt - 10V
UnS - 220 V
FrS - 400 Hz

Is this working on the bench or on the machine.? . . . . Motors need to be fixed on the machine or Clamped very securely other wise they will be affected by resonance and sound like can of marbles.

If you don't require slaved motors then I would still go with the IP-M over the ESS despite the ESS being higher spec'd and here's why.

The ESS still requires a BOB and to get the best from it you...
