FAQs / Re: Homing

I am kind of new about 1-1/2 years, I am wondering why your homing is in lower left? I have been using upper right and do not have any problems.

I got my X-3 from Syil America and all my limits have me homing to the X left, Y out and Z up ( X all the way to the left and Y all the out, away from the main column ).

If I change the limit switches will it make the mill run any better or since I know how to setup now like it is just leave it alone.

The new CPU Dell sent me has a Intel Pentium D 3.6 processor and Windows XP Home in it. From the start of the problem, over three weeks on the phone, I always thought it was the processor. My thoughts were the processor would start on one side of the core and when it ran out of buffer it would not make a smooth transaction to the other side in which case the data coming out of the parallel port would have a " burp " and the mill would hang up for a milly sec or stop.

In my 3 weeks on the phone with Dell, AMD and Microsoft I had many 3 and 4 way phone conversations.

I quess what made the" powers to be " change their minds is when I took an HP Pentium 4- 3.06 GHz and 512mb memory and make the mill run perfect, since I had 3yrs on site repair Dell had a tech there at the time and told the powers that the problem is the CPU and not the mill. Also the Hp's  360GB hard drive was 90% full and in normal start up mode, no programs disabled.

The hardest part was to get Dell to send me a new CPU with an Intell single core processor, since the CPU was out side of 21 days for return. I had the CPU before the mill came I didn't see the problem until I was 26 days on the CPU. The exchange came 50 days later, in the mean time the original machine had 3 mother boards and 2 new processors installed, then they shipped me a new CPU with a AMD and that didn't work and finally one with an Intel which is working fine.

So what you said about Windows Xp Home and dual core processors I would believe, just to bad I don't have the old system to where I could update to Pro and realy see.

Right now I believe in " If it ain't broke, don't fix it ".

All I know I swaped an AMD 64x2 3800 in for an Intell Pentium D and every thing is working. This was a dedicated machine from Dell and I told them to strip it clean except fore Windows Home and it didn't work.  The Intel is working fine with all the garbage they send on the computer
