Hi Jazz
It was actually your comments that drove me to sign up and stand by your observations.
Before I purchased I checked feed back ect and took it all for face value and expected a relatively turnkey solution.
I was wrong, the spindle issue is the same on mine if you
Know of a fix for this please let me know.
Your machines look a capable solution but I'm now over 2k in so the machine needs to pay me back before I can progress. I do alot of remote programming for several company's and reverse engineering of products and I should of opted for a more commercially available machine but the engineer in me like the look of the welded frame and ball screw machine so I went for that expecting a good solid machine but it's not. Personally they should be sold as kits for an experienced user and not a finished machine.
I think I will look to build a more suitable machine at some point next year.
I think as a basic machine they run and work but it needs a lot of refinement I offered some feed back on the gantry design to aid the end user and it wasnt really acknowledged.

Hi Chris,

To be honest I wasn't trying to tempt or sell you or anyone the machine it just seemed a good point to mention it to show someone thinking of buying a machine that there are much better alternatives at similair or less money. To be honest I don't need to push the machines I build they sell them selfs, esp when seen in the flesh or after being used, to be honest most of these are now sold just by people approaching me and wasn't going to show them or offer untill finshed, if there was any spare that is.!

Now regards the Spindle then I haven't actually seen how he's wired them up but it shouldn't be too difficult to make safe. A simple relay will do the Job but without seeing what he's fitted and wired in your electrical cabinet it's difficult to say.
I'll PM you my email address etc and if you send me pics I'll take a look and help you make it safe.
