Re: Tape Splitting

(Sorry for the delays....the system refused to let me post the text. Something wrong in one of the lines of typing...still have no clue what it was that upset it so) I have to assume you mean the VECTRIC post-processors for the Shark, correct?

Re: Non-Standard Router Adapters

Cut one yourself.

The router plate outside dimensions and bolt placement are easy to determine, and you already know the shape of the router you want to use. just make sure the battery doesn't hit on anything as it goes up and down.
Get yourself some 3/4" thick HDPE and have at it :)

Re: Altering X and Y orientation

Tell NWA to learn a little about their own systems! All you have to do is reverse the polarity of ONE of the stepper motor coils and it runs in reverse. Now, if you have homing sensors, they will be at the wrong end of the axis. Here's an article that talks more about it: https://www.electrodragon.c...

Re: New Spindle and HD520 - Spindle and/or XY Axis stops

Andycollen: The VFD very likely has a plastic chassis, and therefore simply mounting it does not actually ground the case. I experienced odd failures too, until I bonded the case of the VFD to the case of the controller. That was actually the "E" for "earth" screw connection on mine, and might be a ...
