Dang! Right in the middle of a five-hour job, and the VFD on our bed router upchucked! Darn... $1100 for a new one.
And unfortunately, this stupid router's control is tightly knit into some proprietary 'uniqueness' of this one brand (Delta)... so I can't just easily slip in a generic.
I'll fix that, when work slacks, and I re-fit the dumb thing with a decent control and servos instead of steppers.

Really, Gunner? I DID write VFD, not "hard drive"!

BTW... Bob. Drives Warehouse was the same price (within $40) for a generic
7.5KW unit of the Delta drive at retail... so I think the only reason the ShopSabre folks used it was so they could 'rig' the unit around some of the proprietary features of the Delta.LLoyd
As always, I'm more about quantity than quality.

Don't pose as Gunner. We had you 'made' weeks ago. He made a mistake.
So did you.
I don't make mistakes which helps my invinsibilti. Ive been treated for injuries as a result of rodeo, motorcycles, knives, explosive devices, assault. aircraft crashes and motor vehicle crashes. And nobdy made me. I'm self made except for the half million I split with my sister and the free medical care and the free ride tax wise.

I wouldn't assume defeat without looking. The interfaces of VFDs are pretty similar. And they may be using the 0-10 Volt interface with polarity, or the like, to command motor speed, as part of the position loop.

Right... Even our _real_ Gunner can spell better than that, and he doesn't claim to be a 'speller'.
Give it up, creep.

Joe, the VFD turns out to be no more expensive (at retail) than the more 'generic' ones, and ALSO HAS the more generic interface lines... it's just that the control for this stupid ShopSabre unit uses the proprietary methods. I can use this same VFD in a more 'compatible' way when I re- fit the system.
The ShopSabre folks want $600 MORE for the same VFD! They're crooks.
Besides that, there are all sorts of unprotected ways and linear bearings, exposed screws without any defense against particulates contamination -- just all SORTS of _fundamental_design_defects_ which CAN be cured with careful attention.
Heck, they even mounted the VFD RIGHT IN the chips stream! There's 40 sq. ft. of area under the table, and they put the thing right where chips fall into it on every job (except, I installed a sheet metal shield over it to prevent that. When the new one gets here Tuesday, I'm mounting it on a stand under the table!
So... after "the season" (fireworks, remember?), I'm going to rip this thing down to bones and re-do the whole affair... probably with Mach3 (just because it's so _available_ and well-used... so a lot of assistance out there for tuning and tweaks). Ehh... maybe I'll go with LinuxCNC, but I haven't yet studied the issues enough to be sure.

And you get the clap for that, my friend.
No I cant.
At least you ACK it.
No. Pump the Trump.
Yes! You guys will be very amazed at how much your lives will improve once I'm in charge. Neither of you will have to go to work. You can stay home and watch my beautiful family on TV and imagine you are me. And post all you want! You will be so happy, believe me.

Keep this up, you need much more practice.
I already have decades of practice getting losers to worship me. Now I am the leader of their party and about to put my brand on the White House. Vote for me and I'll kick all the scroungers off the dole and use the money saved to build solid gold statues of David Hannum to guard the entrances to all my mansions.

Mr Trump, do you remember the conversation we had in the VFW hall about presidential qualifications?

I make up the rules as I go. All I care about is that you'll vote for me and I know you will. You deserve me. Corey told me to spend my spare time sweet-talking attendees at monster truck rallies. I gave him the boot because I knew that RCM was populated with my kind of people. The few exceptions are apparently scheduled to be hung from lamp posts which means they don't count.
