General Mach Discussion / Re: Jogging x axis speeds up spindle help plz

« on: November 06, 2013, 09:45:31 AM »

Hello All,

         My machine is a harbor freight 7 X 12 mini lathe with a Stock FC250J/110V Motor controller, I am using a Gecko G540 to control it. I am under the assumption that the Stock motor controller is a VFD since it has a POT to control it. Here is the xml file I am currently playing with and thank you guys for any help or direction you may be able to push me in.

General Mach Discussion / Jogging x axis speeds up spindle help plz

« on: November 04, 2013, 10:33:43 PM »

Hello all,

I am new to the cnc game and thought id try mymhand at it. I have recently converted my harbor frieght 7x12 mini lathe to cnc. I am useing the stock motor and motor controller with a G540. I can controll both axis's no problem i just figure out how to gain control of my spindle via mach and a pulse index card for threading purposes. Problem i am haveing while still in my testing phase is that if i turn on thw spindle then try to jog my x axis thenspindle speed increases and then decreases if i stop jogging. I am not sure where i went wrong im betting its a settings issue any help would be greatly apprecieated.   Thanks for your help in advance.
