Wood Works Ebay cnc router review

**andy_con** · 09-05-2021

anyway, back on topic.

i get the feeling its the default mach download and not a single setting has been changed to suit the machine.

spindle dwell has been left on default 1 second, the spindle doesnt go from 0-28k in 1 second!!! ive now changed that.

the xyz steps in motor tuning haven't been set, its has 1000mm of moment in x & y. yet do the full length and the dro's in mach were reading 318, not sure what 318 is...
ive now sorted that.

estop has been sorted. active high was ticked in ports and pins, meaning is was operating the wrong way. ive now unticked that.

it appears there is nothing to stop the z coming off the rails, no software limits or physical stop.

the list of issues just gets longer...

In the Ebay listing it says screened CY cable but I don't see any screens in the control box and no star ground point. It also looks like the E-stop is at mains potential

estop does nothing to the spindle, but seems to disconnect uc100 from mach3

Yes exactly that, I have helped several people who have bought these and none of them have come setup.

The VFD will most likely be set to the default 20 seconds for both acceleration and de-acceleration so you might want to change these to get to speed quicker.

probably is default, its currently only running at 24k rpm, even with the know on the front all the way up.
