Josh is working on it. No ETA right now. Thanks Josh - BTW this is a volunteer forum so SLA's are just best effort. EDIT -> I manually batch updated about 25 people stuck on the email notification. Try logging in now with your password. EDIT -> May 8/23. I updated another bunch of users stuck on email notifications. Try to login if you are stuck.

Craftex CX601 Spindle Control

OK, here's the overall look of my machine

Here's the modified spindle drive using a timing belt/pulleys

And here's the KBSI-240D installed in the bottom of the cabinet with the Acorn board.

Thanks again for the input ... now back to regular scheduling :)
 
Since I'm on a roll, do you guys think it's possible to hook up the direction controls to Acorn via the relays (M03/M04)?
Here's information from Franco's Youtube video on his PM-728 machine:

Was wondering if leads to magnetic switch could be connected to the relays.

Thanks !

Can you get us the specific model of the KBIC controller board? There’s usually a label on the back of the heat sink. Some of the KBIC boards can survive open armature circuits, some go up in smoke.

It is possible using an interlock relay that cuts power to the KBIC board when changing direction, that’s what was done in the original factory configuration on my BB CT129
