As stated. I crashed my Mill. I killed the spindle and am having an issue with the x axis. The spindle is easy and parts are on the way. Since I am changing the spindle motor and drive, I pulled the stock drive in prep. I figured I would double check that all of the movement still functioned. Everything was fine except that x axis moves in the neg direction no matter which way I send the x. I searched the site and found quite a few things to check but nothing seems to work. With the original bob, I swapped the motor x and y motor cable. the problem moved to the y axis and the x axis worked fine. I changed the driver. no change. I swapped the x and y inputs to the drivers. Y changes cause the x to move the same direction no matter the input and x changes work correctly but on the y axis. I swapped to a cheap bob and the same issues appear. I have also changed the serial cables. I also changed the pins on the x to be the a axis and moved the wires to the a axis. I also checked the computer and it runs the lathe just fine. I think i have ruled out motor, driver, bob, cables and computer. The only weirdness seemed to be that the driver input changes caused the y input to move the x incorrectly. I was expecting the y to move incorrectly.
Any ideas of next steps??
