I couldn't find your serial number in my data base, so I don't know what version of it you have. The earliest models had a you sent these to me in late December 2006. Can you tell which rev. I have based on the date? These are the rev A through C versions. Rev D and E have this fix.

I would only add I gain at the end of tuning to keep static errors and errors at low speeds to minimum. Enabling I gain early in tuning will only mask the effects of the FF1 and FF2 tuning OK, I will do some more tuning with only P-gain and try to get the FF1 and FF2 gains right. 1. Is it

I think that's a great idea. I wouldn't even mind wearing a whole life vest, with a little cord strapped to an E-Stop panel while at my machine :) I could have used it today, while foolishly using the same variable for 'start depth of cut,' and 'clearance height.' I was being lazy. When I got fed

Hi Kirk One needs to be just a bit careful about grounding these sorts of shielding -- if that is what's going on. I recommend star or single point grounding where only one end of the shielding is connected to the frame. If you bond both ends of power wire shielding you'll see ground loops
