Hi George,
It is normal for the motors to run hot, the axes motors are energised while stationary to hold position and the turret motor is constantly holding the turret disk in position so this is not a problem.

The expanded code says X12430 so this would be a move out of limits.

Hi If you download the latest software for the machine you will find the machine manual on the download that may be helpful.

This card is the base layer of the DEN 2020 Controller.

Can you remove the pullstud from the tool that does not fit correcly and check that it fits to the taper correctly. You should then see it it fits correctly. The bottom of the drawbar should hit the top of the pullstud as you release the tool. This will help a tool release if stuck on the taper. Tig...

Hi, Do you have a manual toolpost or an 8 station turret?

When selecting the machine type the Turn270PRO should be selected if a turret and Turn270PROM if a manual tool post.

The machine type dictates the direction of travel when homing.

The trim feature is now standard in V2 of QuickCAM.

You still have to explode objects to be able to trim them.

None of the springs should be flipped they should all be fitted oposing each other and the 10.5 should be standard for all.

As martin says the files are produces in Quick Cam pro with the back of the car at the left and with the Rotary fixture you have the back of the car on the right. You have to add a mirror in X command to make it cut right to left with the origin on the RH end. If using Car Wizard you can output to t...

The machine was probably supplied with a seperate autotrancformer in a box. this would convert the 110V to 230 or 240V.

With the introduction of the F1 Model Block made of foam the bore of the billet was reduced to 18mm.

As a result the spiggot is now a smailler dimension

Using Easy Upgrader the card can be used for any machine and will update any machine running without a USB port.
Replacing a Denstep controller performance would be much improved.

Hi, The machine RS232 cable will be detIle on the forum. I would also check the EPROM version you have in the machine.

It sounds as if the machine does not have microstepping drives/

Post a picture of the electrical panel and the serial number plate.

The center drill has a 2mm tip but 5mm shank so to be used the hole must be drawn as 5mm.

If you set the depth to 2mm it will only use the start of the centre drill.

It would then use the 5mm drill to drill 2mm deep also unless you dissablesd it in the tool library.
