The thing anout the green tape idea is that I would then have to do the same all around the micrometer dial for 10, 20 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90! It would...
Never really thought it was weird. A lot of machinery has redundancy to make sure you WANT it to turn on and start spinning at thousands of rpm with a sharp...
Would Echo "Never thought it weird". One swith is the power, one the direction. The power needs to be on and stable, all be it milliseconds before the...
The power switch is actually a No Volt release switch in disguise <g> and is there for safety reasons. When power is made two small wires on the circuit board...
Thanks John But why do I first have to put the reverse switch in the opposite direction first before flipping the reverse switch in the requred directiom to...

Greetings, LittleMachineShop has a CNC spindle speed control upgrade that they claim works with the Grizzly G0619 (SX3) Mill, the SIEG X3 mill and the SIEG X3...
just wondering if anyone has any objections of more images being filed in the photo section i have just finished taking out all the slackness in the head...
Can't see haow it works with an X3 mill as these are still on the DC boards. The Super series with brushless motors , then yes. It's basically the same board...
For anyone interested I posted a new video yesterday on youtube of a fun project for a wheelchair bound patient. It could have been done with a single piece in...
i have just finished the last write up of the images in the sx2 rebuild they might be of help to some-one to tighten up there x2 sx2 mill once these bits...
Hi All, I am new here and I need some advice and opinions. I have recently retired and I am going to pursue my vocation and hobby with a bit more intensity. I...
Hi I am based in UK so can't work on powder burners without RFD status, However I do work on airguns and mill receivers of similar size to the 1911 which I...
Hello Scott, I too am a beginner to machining and have purchased a Seig SX3 mill. These are available in Australia and is the same as sold in the USA under the...
Most people are partial to what they have, or have had. Having completely re-built and CNCd an x3- and read likely a hundred thousand messages on cnc zone, and...
I was thinking new, not used. They "seem" to have fixed the motor issue, but even still: easy to overcome. Treadmill motor and better controller. After further...
Hi Les, I am finally into building a tachometer for my SX2plus mill, following your design. Have all the parts, the PIC loaded with your program (with help...
I'm repairing an older JD 530 hay baler. From the factory, they had 1" od steel pins going thru a cast iron spinder/housing without any type of bushing....
Oh yes, there it is! I now see on the schematic that the lead from the collector of transistor Q2 in fact has an MSD label across it, just as one needs. Which...
Hi Sverker, You are correct RA0 drives the least significant digit and RA3 drives the most significant digit. You mention the board layout so I assume you are...
Hey All, Has anyone tested this this Speed Control Kit for X3 mills (not SX3)? From what I understand - this will give me direct control of the spindle through...
VFD will cost a lot more but will provide more power, speed, control, and possibly smooth finish. For the LMS questions on set up I would email lms and ask....
