I could not agree with Chad more. Earlier I was suggesting one place to check that I had problems with. There is no better felling than trouble shooting, finding the exact problem and repairing it. ;D There is a lot of people on this forum to help. :)

Lindsay,
 Â   Did you try rotating the connectors, or swapping drives? Did you confirm that these are the root of the problem?

Wawatobi,
      I have trouble with backlash comp. also. Mine does not throw an E-stop as I'm running steppers with no encoders. I think mine is because the steppers just don't have enough power to make such a sudden and fast change. Especially in CV mode on a radius. It skips steps. For you this would = a fault. I'm all but certain this is my problem. If I slow the feed rate to 50% the problem goes away.

Hello Lindsay,
 Â   Do the 320s have the blue push on connectors as do the 201s. By the picture on their website it looks like they do. Mine started doing crazy stuff once and this was the problem. It tried to drive me crazy. Those connectors will push on in two positions. 90 degrees from one another.  I was taking my meter probes and checking across the screws that tighten the wires, everything was as it should be. This was a false reading. They were loosing connection between wire connections and pin connections. I pulled the connector off, rotated 90 degrees, problem went away. Contacted Gecko and they sent new ones, no questions asked. Not sure if this is your problem but would be worth checking.

No, I'm at the very top of South Carolina. I lived in Houston for 6 months about 16 years ago.

Hey Yoda,
     Do you have a number or e-mail for these folks?

« on: October 24, 2006, 02:09:53 PM »
I don't know if this will help, but I hope it does.

The standard is to run the feed rate up slowly until you break the bit. Back off 10% and that is optimal. Now keep in mind, this is in production runs where you are planning on using a lot of the same cutters for a long time. Of course I would not do this on a single piece, or if I just had the one cutter. If you are planning on using the same size, style, etc. for a while it may be worth scrapping one cutter to know.They will last a long time using this rule though.
