Compact Router

Check the E-Stop contact block. In the Microrouter Compact, the E-Stop is exposed to dust unlike the enclosed area for the E-Stop in the Compact 1000. The contact blocks may have dust inside, preventing the contacts from closing properly.

Compact Router

When trying to home the machne, the numbers for the Z axis scroll in the control panel, but the Z does not move. The homing "time Out" error pops up after a while. All of the fuses check out OK and the fuse on the control card was replaced with 6.3 amp

Any ideas?
