Alright, thanks so much for the help!

Thanks for the info. So I just ran spindle at 200 Hz for about 5 minutes. Then up to 250 for a few more minutes. Then 300 for a few more. In that 10 minutes or so the round black spindle body above...

Okay, the suggestions seem to have worked. Here is a recap.

3kw 300hz 18000rpm air cooled square spindle. Inverter input 240v USA.

The following settings in this order:

Reset to factory...

Okay. How about pd144? Is that max rpm 18000 / 8 amps, giving 2250? Or do I use 3000? Is PD070 = 1 the solution to my ROTT problem?

Great. Thanks so much for the info. I will set both PD014 and PD015 to 15. Hopefully with these changes, and PD070 to 1, I will be set. I will report back tonight.

Great, thanks for the info mactec54. I'll try this tonight and report back.

Will you elaborate on what types of problems? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to be thorough.

Great thanks Dytoven. What about PD011? Isn't it important to set that to something other than default? Have you been running the spindle long without issues?

Thanks for the reply. I'm confused. The spindle says 300Hz. Where do you see it's 400 Hz? I should set PD011 TO 300? Why are others using 120?

Hello Donald. Yes, I'm fairly certain it's putting out 300hz as the VFD shows, however the issue is rott on the VFD doesn't read 18000. It was my understanding that it could/should read 18000. Am I...

Hello,

I was hoping to get some help with my Huanyang. The spindle is supposed to be 18000rpm 3kw and matched vfd. See attached pictures for info on the plates. I followed the info in this...

Hello,

I've been struggling with an issue when doing certain plunge cuts with my router. For example, today I was machining some mahogany, and was using a 4 flute .25" diameter end mill plunging...

Here are some pictures to go along with the steps.

Thanks. It's interesting that the document you linked says that shielding should be connected at both ends. Thoughts on that? Should I connect all ends of my shielding to my new star ground point?

Great, thanks again for responding. One last question of clarification, where might that central metallic ground suitable point be? I have metal conduit going from my service panel to my metal a/c...

Another question related to my touchplate... I read you shouldn't use "ground" to pass signals. If my router is supposed to be going to star ground, would using the machine's frame as I'm currently...

Al - I greatly appreciate your response. Do you have any suggestions for me as to where that star point should be in my setup? Simply, I have all my electronics and computer plugged in to a...

This is kind of an old post, but I figured I respond since I think I have a good understanding of how to do this.

It's quite simple actually, and the results are better than what that post showed...

I've been reading as much as I can about this noise issue, and grounding. What's scary is that there are many different and apparently conflicting suggestions all over the web. I got into info...

Huh??

I had been running with a debounce of zero. So I did raise it. I believe I used the limit wire shielding correctly. Do you have any tips on how to check if it's noise from the router? It only trips...

I had a question about this. I have the g540 and my limits are tripping randomly while running. I never had this issue before. I recently switched to the porter cable 690 from a lesser powerful...

So, looking at the post processor -> circle tab -> Arc center section, it was set to Vector from center to start. I changed it to absolute, and then reposted, and in Mach, it was yelling at me...

Thanks for the reply Andrew. I will check for absolute mode. With regards to lines and arcs, I always arc fit by going into the tool path and clicking the arc fitting button, then save the tool...

Hello,

I searched and couldn't find anything about this. I'm using a buddy's Rhinocam to generate gcode for my machine running mach3. It's Rhinocam Pro 2.0.4.

I have various MOPs in the...

Once again, I have posted a dumb question. My brain wasn't working right when I posted this question, I think.

On interior cuts, going clockwise is conventional, not a climb cut because you're...

Hello,

If I do a 2.5d profile operation, on a curve region, with the cut parameters set to the inside of the curve as a climb cut, why does Rhinocam make the tool travel counter clockwise around...

Geez, I'm off to a bad start... After slowing down the simulation in rhinocam it appears as if rhinocam has it backwards. I apologize for providing incorrect information. The simulation shows a...

Hello,

I have a homemade 3-axis gantry type machine that I built. The machine seems to be setup correctly. All 3 axes are setup to mirror what I see in Rhino. I.e. when looking at the machine...
