I've been running my 3D router with a fixed speed spindle motor and set the speed in the tool section at 3000rpm. Everything worked well.
I'm now using a 3phase motor controlled by a VFD and this works OK using the tool stting window up to 10000rpm. My spindle can run up to 18000 revs but when i input this I get the title message, "Spin too large; check machine ID file".
I can't find the file to change!
I'm using LinuxCNC as a controller and with the exception of this speed issue it works great with SolidCAM.
I can change the gcode manually to give me 18000 rpm but that defeats the object.
Help please.
ps posted thread in Solidworks in error
Thenks for your reply.
In the post-processor files i've found a "LinuxCNC.vmid.backup" and a "LinuxCNC_bkp0vmid"
I opened these using free file viewer and found in both files the spindle speed set at 10000rpm.
Do I change the speed in both files?
I can't edit in free file viewer. How do i edit them?
