Just wakeing up my boss textron mill after buying it..
I think the boss 10 is similar to the 8 and such so please chime in with any info.
I need to dive into the manual more but it came up and it wanted to home everything. Pressing exicute started that process.
Looked lik Z homed up then X homed the table moving to the left then back right
then Y started moving toward me (so that would be positive in my book) but didn't reverse. What looks like the home switch seems to be on the right side of the table for Y. Not 100% sure if that button was not sticking it might have been since sticking it with a screw driver caused it to pop up a bit. So Im guessing it was moving forward trying/till the button would indicate it was off limit? but kept going due to no imput then faulted at the stop of Y all the way toward the user so it didn't reverse to go home?
Looked like the table was in home when stored (table all the way to the back of machine and sticking out all the way to the right)
Anyway after the home failed I could jog all the axis just fine. Could not figure out how to turn on the spindle motor though from the pannel. So need help with that to..
Everyone was a big help when I converted my round pole and build my 4x8 so hopefully I'll get this guy going as well to!! Else I'll end up scraping the boss controller But if it's an ok control I could run 2 machiens at once if I used it rather then swaping my Camtronics/gecko setup controller between the 3 machines..
Also anyone have a favorite program for uploading gcode to the boss? Guessing some one might even have some quick instructions on loading and stuff.
Thanks!!..
