Just got Water cooled spindle + Inverter + Spindle clamp. So today i do wiring and add Potentiometer to Inverter and then test them to make sure everything work fine and correct wiring.

Item arrive ::




Unpack the package


Start wiring ::










Note :: For single phase power use “R” and “T” but for Three phase power use “R” and “S” , or “S” and “T” , both will work fine.

After finish wiring then test run ::







Note :: Before start run it VFD need to parameter setting.

- PD005 = 400 (Hz)

- PD004 = 400 (hz)

- PD003 = 400 (hz)

- PD008 = 220 (220volt)

- PD072 = 400 (hz)

- PD144 = 3000

This parameter need to set up before start run spindle. Other parameter see document.

After test , It work correctly and everything good so next i need to add potentionmeter to font panel of inverter , it already have socket for putting potentionmeter into it.



Done !!! lol

I have a question and it's been bugging me for a little while now, if you had a CNC and needed it, why did you sell it, only to have to build another?

For the old one i sold it because i need budget to build another Plasma CNC 4'x4' or 4'x8' but after sold it but lot of factor that i can't start to build Plasma CNC and i after sold it i still have some work , hobby that need to use CNC then i decide to build another one by keep it cheaper , smaller than old one.

Just got ballscrew , rod rail , ballscrew support and other stuff today now i got almost everything still waiting for stepper motor driver , breakout board.

Ballscrew , Ballscrew support , rod rail and other ::




Wood base ::

After long time not update , just busy and have something to do. OK let's see some update progress and i think i will finish my machine not over 2 week.

Tap aluminum profile ::






Mark drill & tap position of Z-Axis :: This can do 2 way, 1st like picture below , 2nd print my design as scale print 😄 but i choose 1st way.







Finish build Z-Axis. More pictures see at my blog. iD2CNC.wordpress.com

I used cheap power drill that i have , it not accuracy and not precision but i can make it more precision and accuracy by process of drilling but some hole will have +- 0.2-0.5mm and how to make it still fit when mounting that was simple. OK how? if need to drill 3mm hole then just drill 3.3mm or 3.5mm hole then 0.3-0.5mm of hole will use for adjust aluminum plate when mounthing.

Now electronic kit just arrive and then i will go to wiring and test run stepper motor first and then i will go to drill and tap aluminum and aluminum profile , finally start assembly the machine.

Electronic Kits ::


This components will use to start project no.2
