Wanted - Jaws for Novaturn chuck.

My Novaturn only came with the one set of jaws, they step up towards the centre of the chuck.

Looking for the other set which I assume are the "external" ones.

Cheers

Novamill intermittent sticks at S on startup...

Hi, I'm looking for a little help on fault finding. Some times (usually after its been heavily used over the weekend and then left for a week) my novamill base unit boots and sits with the denstep display at S. The machine doesn't initiate and the gentle hissing noise from the mill doesn't occur. It...

Re: DOS software Fanucl , Fanucld , Fanucsld etc.

hi, is there any way to get the dos sw running without being connected to my novaturn? It'd be nice to have the option to run simulations in the house rather than the garage.
Any help appreciated.

Enabling the feedrate and Spindle overide sliders on Machine

Hi, The feedrate and Spindle overide sliders on my Machine Auto tab are greyed out, can I enable them for working with my Novamill? I'm on the legacy VR milling as I have a RS232 controller, (v2.28, i think had some compatibility issues with v2.31). Also having reviewed the electrical schematics for...

Novamill Stepper motor

I've been contacted by a collegue who has (on the back of seeing my machine) just aquired a run down 1999 Novamill, unfortunately its missing parts etc. It has been stripped of stepper motors and is missing other odd bits. Having looked at the assembly drawings the stepper motor part number is BI 00...

Re: Novaturn and FLSTEP

Thanks to all, she's ALIVE!! :-)) An old V1.6 EEPROM that came in a box of bits with my Novamill (compatible with FLSTEP) helped alot and Dosbox is essential, otherwise you get intermittent comms issues. Dont miss that you need to enable the comms ports in dosbox as real ports, that cost me a hour o...

Novaturn and FLSTEP

Hi, Having got to grips with my novamill (which is excellent by the way), i've taken the next step and got a novaturn on the basis that the flstep software was availble here. I've read the forum fairly thoroughly but cant seem to get FLSTEP to connect to the novaturn. The novaturn seems to power up ...
