Hello My name is Lou and I am located in Melbourne Australia.
I have just taken up the hobby of CNC, I have purchased on EBay a wigt cnc 6040 router (Chinese Machine) and I'm running XPwindows to drive my software Mach3
So far so good!! I have installed the software and purchased the licence and configured the software as illustrated on the Artsoft tutorial.
I now find that when I attempt to Jog the DRO'S indicate movement, All seems good to this stage, When I power up the driver and attempt to jog the machine i get no movement on any of the axis, the dro's still indicate movement. The "Y" Axis motor however, makes a noise as if the motor attachment to the the lead screw is slipping and it seems as if it tries to jog but no movement is achieved just this grinding noise, this is as I said earlier, only on the "Y" axis.
Can any on offer any clues on what I need to do to get this machine jogging and performing as it should?
Thank you for any advice any one can offer me.
Lou
