An update to running slow IPM's. I recently dialed down the current on my drivers specifically on the second Z. So much quieter now. The Second Z is now almost silent, like my first one always as...

I'll have to look up the speed again. I have looked at it before. Yes, its a dell. I am a Mac fanatic but they are all in use and the dell was in the extra pile doing nothing. Unfortunately the...

So here's my issue and what I suspect could be the problem. Figured I'd post it on here and see if I'm looking in the right direction

When running a laser project (hence no load on machine), I get...

Thanks Will for the notes. Didn't think about the smoke being a factor in the laser beam but it makes total sense. The 80mm fan completely moves all the smoke from the area.
Your right on the...

I have a older Gantry Shopbot that I recently upgraded to an RBK...

"Almost all" thats almost good enough.

Luckily this is a new add-on. Have not finished the post yet. As I have yet to find a great diagram of the PRK box that shows in detail what H5 and H6...

Good to know. I'll just use the keyboard for that. Still leaves my issue of the button actually doesn't do anything other than light up number 4 Light. I had it working correctly on my old...

Mine is wired up to Input #4 on a PRK box. The other wire...

Can't get the photos to upload. Board shows V3.54, PRT012004-02175. Routers are Porter Cable, 75182. One works fine, the other had a bad switch so we wired around it. I also have one bracket to...

I recently upgraded to a RBK box and have my old PRT board and power supply that need a new home. I don't have the original enclosure anymore as I had swapped it to another PC box but never finished...

Actually in the process of adding one to my gantry machine. Printed a mount to hold the laser to my second Z and also hold a cooling fan for it. Have just run a couple basic test runs so far as I'm...

Noticed this thread and it applied to me quite a bit. I've been looking to get a 1/8 compression bit as I've just been using straight cut bits to this point with my machine cutting 1/2 birch plywood....
