its alive!
almost.
all the axes work, and the spindle runs, but im having issues with the pwm controller. its being jerky (literally) and never actually turns off completely.
even still, i manages to make a manual jogging test cut in some hardwood. 65ipm through 1/4" of purpleheart with the spindle at 5000 rpm. cut perfect. i think it could go through alot faster too, but 65ipm was my compromise in tuning the motors to have good acceleration and decent rapids. im still on the 19v psu though, so it might get a little faster when the new one comes.
so far so good though, i think this is goind to be a very very useful tool. |
