Re: MicroMark 7x16 Fault Notice

Re: machining in a small shop
If you do something like store it on a bench to the side front to back, you could have a shelf surface above where the lathe is stored to provide some additional flat surface.? You would still have

Charles, thanks for all your thoughts on chip cleanup. Sounds like the problem is about what I thought it would be. A problem, for sure, but not insurmountable. There's already a rug on the way out of

Re: machining in a small shop
I would think that if yer gonna try to store a mini lathe on end that is should be mounted to a solid base for horizontal use that can double as part of what would be needed to hold it vertically .

Re: DC power supply grounding
The fuse can only protect when there is only one path for a return current and fusing N does not protect L from returning on GROUND. Yes, it does matter where the fuse is. wrote:

Re: machining in a small shop
I don't see any reason you can't store a mini-lathe on end.? (Unlike some larger lathes, it doesn't have any "oil bath" areas where oil could run out.) Regarding clean up, usually it is common to

Re: DC power supply grounding
On the electrical and computer side, it is just LCNC with three stepper motors, So the LCNC documentation applies. But on the mechanical side, there is custom-made parts that fit the motors to the HF

Re: DC power supply grounding
The purpose of a fuse is to protect the wires and prevent a fire. In that case it does not matter where the fuse is. As for AC electrical safety that is the job of the breaker box. New construction

Re: Magnetic DRO Reader Gounding?
Yes, keep the low voltage circuits isolated from the lathe AC ground. Ferrite beads are to suppress high frequency noise and won't do anything to suppress full line AC if by chance line voltage is

The fuse must be on the hot leg. You can fuse both L and N, but if the fuse blows in that diagram and the emergency switch is engaged (either from failure on the switch or re-engagement) then line
