Electricians are #%^&%# $%**^$# (I can say this, I is one). Hope you get the machine up and running soon.

Just an after the fact, thought from the peanut gallery-Would taking pictures of all the wiring/assembly/harnesses etc to document it in a completely working stage, be helpful? Artie

Knowing how it is supposed to look is what let me spot the problem.... once I bothered to kneel down and peek under the side rails for the Y switches. In the history of the 2 Probotix CNCs in our shop those Y limit switches had never been a problem before. I had no reason to imagine that one might have been re-wired wrongly. Yet that is exactly what had happened... over a weekend when no one should have been using the CNCs.

I'll know better next time, but hopefully all new-building work is done now and there won't be a next time. I suspect no other Probotix CNC has suffered the odd problems mine have. Mine live in a college where for the last 2 years they've been moved 4 times. They've gone from a classroom shop under my oversight to a larger all-college shop where potentially any student/faculty might use them without going through me.

That is the reason I’ve come to pick Probotix as my future cnc. They stand up to all the different students, learning how to use a cnc machine. I’l probably make my share of mistakes, but i’ll be the only student making them on my machine. Now I gotta just find a way to come up with the funds for one.
