Hi there,
Just got my Longmill 30x30 - and having a hard time getting started:
Present Status: I am connected to the Longmill using gSender and can jog all 3 axis.
I tried to surface my waste board using the gSender and can’t get it to work.
- Can’t get the 1" surface bit to drop to the waste board.
- Starting at front/left — the longmill moves the full X axis, then tries to move forward on the Y axis (making a terrible sound)
- the Y and Z axis seem to jog the opposite - Z+ moves the router away from the waste board and Z- moves the router closer to the waste board - Y+ moves the axis closer to the front and Y- moves the axis to the back.
- I tried the inverse settings in Firmware - but I’m not sure it fixed the issues
Here are the settings for the Surfacing Tool
Dimensions 34.02x32.13
Router Bit Diameter 1 in
Spindle RPM — have a router
Stepover - 40%
Feedrate 1500 in/min
Layer Depth .04 in
Max Depth .04 in
Thanks for helping out - I am chumping at the bit to start Carving.
Take Care,
Bob McNanley
