happy to see you got it figured out.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Rotary spindle encoder setup

« on: May 22, 2019, 08:27:08 AM »

did a Little bit of searching. all i found is this pinout:

Pin assignments for the DB 25 male is
Pin        Application             Description
1          RELAY                    Switch output eg (motor on)
2          Direction X axis
3          Cycle X axis
4          Direction Y axis
5          Cycle Y axis
6          Direction Z axis
7          Cycle Z axis
8          4th Axis
9          4th Axis
10        Free
11        References switch Z   
12        References switch Y
13        References switch X
14        RELAY Output eg coolant
15        Reference switch 4th axis
16  - 24  Free
25        OV DC, Earthing

The 9 pin connection pins are as follows for the reference switches
1    X1      Machine point of origin port 1 X Axis
2    Y1      Machine point of origin port 1 Y Axis
3    Z1       Machine point of origin port 1 Z Axis
4    ROUND TABLE
5    +12V DC
6    X2       Machine point of origin port 2 X Axis
7    Y2        Machine point of origin port 2 Y Axis
8    Z2        Machine point of origin port 2 Z Axis
9    OV DC

but not Information on witch port/pin's the Rotary Encoder will Show up.

maybeyou can run a parallel port test tool like this: http://www.xlentelectronics.nl/LPTTest/LPTTestUtilx64r.htm
and have a look witch Inputs are flashing if you turn the Encoder.

i assume you run at parallel port of your PC

i assume you have checked accurate x-axis moves via gauge and mdi moves.
so what is left? all your cut's are to small so IMHO only two things are left:

-spindle rack get's pulled up by cutting force
-tool get's pulled down by cutting force

just trying to think loud.
