Hi, everyone I am proud to have my 1st post here.
My G0704 and its conversion kit has been sitting in my garage for about one year
I never have time to put everything together until I got laid-off from work last month.
I just mounted my 3 stepper motor on my G0704 and start to cut some 6061.

I am using:
X & Y axis : Wantai 57 stepper motor 425oz
Z axis Wantai 86 stepper motor for Z 1200oz

4A Wantai DQ542MA Controllers
36V 350W power supply

X & Y axis :1605 C7 ballscrew
Z axis: 2005 C7 ballscrew

Problems so far:
Cannot figure out how to control the spindle motor with mach3
7A DQ860MA for the 86 motor is not working maybe the 36V power supply is not powerful enough.
Z axis movement is not smooth, it vibrates a lot when head is going down.
Head also vibrates when plunge
Auto tool zero crash sometimes, Z going down again after probe is found, only happen when G code is loaded.

Still have a long way to go to make this machine to work perfectly.
any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated
