Thread: my 6040 cnc

hello everyone

its been awhile, but iv got busy and had another go at my CNC
way too hot to do any pen turning in my shed
so move the CNC into the wifes scrapbooking room down stairs (she wasnt all that happy for some reason)
anyway i ran new shielded cables from the steppers to the controller checked everything, all apeared ok
fired it up and it moved, good, then i could smell hot stuff from the controller, opps thats not good, turnes out i fried a card
ok plan B, already had all the bits needed to build a new controller
asked a sparky friend of mine for help to get started and emailed Peter from homanns with a lot of questions.
am at the point were i am fitting up limit switches when i realised that the pump that came with the CNC to run the spindle isnt gonna work
the gecko puts out 48v the pump is 24v back on the net looked at air cooled one but am not sure
i found one on here Aliexpress.com : Buy 800w air cooled cnc router spindle motor from Reliable spindle suppliers on CNC Router Accessories Trading Company
if i coud get some feed back on what everyone thinks
or another option i could run with it would be a big help
thankyou in advance for any feed back
cheers Tony
