I know what is wrong and I should have paid for a new amp $$$$$
^ hopefully who knows what else the manufacture doesn't even support the control anymore . well since they don't support it they dumpstered all info on it to regardless what else is wrong I still need that 1000.00 amp even to upgrade the control what really got me is while looking for other stuff for this mill , the guy has a 2000 vmc so clean you can eat out off it as always after the fact now that I'm invested in this 1

I use EasyDNC for communication on my machines. Works good on both batch files and drip feeding, and is easy to setup. Hardest thing with a new(old) machine is usually making up your own RS232 plug with he wires crossed right and to the right terminals.

I broke my vice bending a bumper for someone well now I'm just going to get a chunk of alum tomorrow and mill it watching this thing hog some metal off , I don't want to go back to the lil thing on the bench OH I'm also thinking of cutting my track frames for my td40 we'll see how time permits
