Microrouter V4 info required

Post by andy_con » Mon 25 Apr , 2016 19:34 pm

I'm looking to purchase this machine and was after some info on it. where might I find the correct spec for it? does anyone know what setup it comes with as standard? doesn't seem to be a manual for it on here, anyone got one?

how does tooling/chuck work on a micro router?

Looking at the serial plate it left the factory with VRMilling 2.11. (You can update to the latest version 2.32 from http://www.denfordata.com/downloads/VRM ... _32_CD.zip but you would need to have the licence file to run it).

The Manual can be downloaded from, viewtopic.php?f=37&t=3658

I don't have a license sadly, but thanks for the info.

is that a vacuum pump under the machine? what sort of vacuum table would work with that pump? do denford supply them?

Yes it would have been supplied with a Trend Vacuum Bed. We now longer supply the Trend version & now fit vacuum pads to current machines.

many thanks for the info.

I'm trying to iron out a few issues, are there any schematics for this machine?

when I press the green vacuum pump button on the front nothing happens, is this control by denford control board? or is that switch linked directly to the vacuum pump?

I'm not sure the door switch is working, I looked a bit knackered. why can the switch be screwed to the door? is the switch suppose to the sprung loaded?

Yes the vacuum pump switch is interlinked through the NextStep card.

many thanks for that.

I see inside the machine where the vacuum pump port comes out into the work area. inside the hole is a thread, what thread is that or what is designed to screw into that?
