Hopefully someone has an idea on this...
BT48 Buddy with spindle
I have had my buddy about 4 years and this just started happening ... getting worse and worse but intermittent.
When running C2 the spindle goes down and does not sense that it's hit the plate. I jams down on the plate and table for a moment and then fails the zero.
I can touch the plate to the bit and the indicator in the control software will sometimes show contact and sometimes not. While holding the plate to the bit I can move wires around to see if there is a loose wire but nothing changes....
Again, this is intermittent. I have even seen times where I can test the contact, it works with the bit above the table and then running C2 it still fails.
I am not using the alligator clip because of the spindle... the clip was removed day one.
Running out of ideas... everything else is working fine... once I can get a successful zzero.
Thanks!
