Strike CNC (My first CNC router)

[Shinobiwan]

When the machine first arrived Strike helped me over the phone to setup and part of that involved changing some DIP switches on the drivers.

Here's what I found in the control box on closer inspection.

• 230v wires exposed out of the estop
• 230v live wire sheathing damage potentially allowing for contact with the chassis
• No chassis ground so if the above happened your going to get electrocuted
• DC Wiring colour coding reversed in places and then in others its as you'd expect.

I've attached images of these and informed Strike back in February when they came. The issue was side stepped and I took it upon myself to completely strip out the electronics and re-wire to a safe standard.

Jimg100. Is this the sort of thing you saw on your machine?

Almost exactly the same all the wires going into those green plugs had been stripped to far and so there was approximately 6mm of bare copper with odd strands that were not clamped and so a possible short and several wire were not clamped tightly enough and I pulled them out easily.
Is it ok to put my phone number on here as I would rather talk on the phone?

You can PM me your number as I wouldn't recommend posting a phone number on a public forum.

Or I can give you mine if that's easier.
