O.K. so I had to completely reinstall my electric service to my detached garage shop so I have not been able to do anything for a bit. (Passed inspection right off)
I started the bot up today after installing a brand new Beckwith .25 cutter.
Homed using limit switches, set Z with Z-zero plate and started spindle and let it warm up for a couple minutes.
Loaded the grapes file and it ran through it with so-so results. Tried the bearpaw one and it started burning almost right away. Stopped and reset everything, moved the wood and re-zero'd everyting and checked the VFD display and it is at 120.77 (I believe that is 12K RPM but maybe I am wrong?)
Tried it again with the same results....Burning right off. I did not mess with any of the settings in the sample file. I screwed the wood down and don't visually see any problem with the bit as it turns.
I ran that same program before I had to replace the electric using a left handed drill bit without any burn.
So what am I doing wrong?
