New to all this CNC stuff
Hi all,
I purchased a new 3018 router about 7 years ago and it has been in storage since.
My workers at my Joinery want to get involved with cnc work so I thought I would drag it out of mothballs.
Over the time the cables and accessories were misplaced by previous staff.
Anyway I thought I would upgrade it because our newer computers don't have a printer port etc.
I purchased a scribe the other week and had a couple of questions.
(1) I upgraded the spindle to a 24v 500w er16.
This seems too powerful to run off the scribes spindle output? Would I be best to run a dedicated 24v power supply to the spindle with it's own speed control?
(2) what size are those JST connectors on the board? I have tried 2 different sizes so far without success @%#%*&!
I would really appreciate any help you can offer here and please be aware I will more than likely be back asking future questions 🙂.
As I said, new to this and over 60 so it's all a learning curve. At least I have some basic training in electronics from being a musician since I was 12.
Thank in advance.
Paul
