I am having a power feed problem. Problem is intermittent.This problem just started about a week ago. This is the power feed that Grizzly sells for the X3...
I don't know if this will make any difference for you but To change direction you should FIRST reduce the feed rate to zero and off, THEN move the direction...
I am having the same problem. I started trying to jump out parts of the circuitry to figure out what is wrong. I had no luck. I try to change directions...
John; When you turn the speed controller all the way to the left, you need to wait for the fault lamp to go out and the circuit board to reset. The switch in...
Being an electronics tech for many years this sounds like the switch itself has gone intermittent. I don't know how up to it you are, but i sloved this...
I have installed the iGaging DRO's on my SX3 mill and I have been trying to decide where is the best place to put the readout displays? I have a tendency to...
Hi folks. After some time carrying out research, documented on a couple of UK M.E. fora, I made the step at the start of January of ordering a Sieg X3 mill....
Update, It turns out that the problem was in the "cheap" fuse holder. When I pressed on it a few times to make sure there was a connection, the problem seems...
I absolutely LOVED my set up when I had it. had to splice in longer wires though. http://www.imgur.com/Qj9gx.jpg http://www.imgur.com/18aeZ.jpg and now its...
... LOL, gotta love the aspirational pictures! Lathe and Landrover Lathe and Audi Lathe and drinking champagne overlooking the Bund Lathe and Thames Town...
I'm looking to buy a slitting saw and (probably) some gear cutters (although I may try making these). But slitting saws seem to be available at a vast range of...
DON'T SKIMP ON THE HOLDER! I have a blade impression in my wall that says its not worth saving money there! fortunately I wasn't between the broken CS bolt...
Hi I’m no expert on these but I have ruined a couple. I bought slitting saws from Chronos at about a fiver each and say 3” diameter in HSS and they work...
I can echo this warning. I had the centre screw creak and the saw and heard blade zip by my ear. It hit the brick wall and shattered. My set up is in a one and...
... Shattered? - Badly tempered and/or crap quality. I use HSS hollow ground saws, never managed to snap one yet. I do tend to use flood coolant with them...
Has anyone installed the long table on the X3 mill? I had a problem laying out the end cap holes. I measured from the top of the tables and [I think]...
I haven't installed one, but can you just slot the holes so you can adjust? That is how my CNC ball screw end caps are mounted. leave both sides loose, run the...
I have everything I need to install thrust bearings in the X, Y, and Z axis of my X1, how hard are the mounts? It looks kind of like cast material which might...
Hello all When taking cuts with my 32mm three point face cutter,the head would vibrate . I had to reduce the cut to .5mm to stop this.I have since fastened the...
In case you don´t know how hard a material is grab a file and try to file it. Soft material will be filed, hardened stuff lets the file slide over the...
I can probably do a finish cut with them mounted to my rotary table to make sure the surface is flat enough for the bearing to the job properly. Also could I...
... Not really surprising it vibrated. Ideal in Al is 3300 rpm DOC .6mm at a feed of 700 mm/min - that needs 0.7HP What speeds/Feeds were you cutting at? Steve...
Well I finally tore down and cleaned up My X3 mill. Unfortunetly I ignored all the post's and didn't disassmble the spindle. Big mistake !! After traming and...
