After more than a year, acting as a doorstop, and with help from some AWESOME folks on this forum, my XL is ALIVE at last!
Some minor tweaks are still needed:
- Spindle sometimes runs off, full speed in random directions while jogging
Refuses to start a cut from Zero, even when all axes are (verified) as zero- Will begin cutting at a random area on every cut (even when repeating the exact, same project!)
- In the middle of a job, the Z-axis will decide to bore straight to the antipode of Oregon and try to start a fire by the “friction method”. I won’t even leave this thing to visit the loo during a job. It does have a great safety feature in that it snaps off the offending fire starter. [snerk]
But, it is moving and I finally get to start asking really stupid questions. Thanks to everyone who helped and kept me from chucking the whole thing in the trash.
