Hi folks.
Tried searching on this and coming up blank. Hoping some of the machine guys can chime in. I've seen Jon from H&W machine Repair commenting on a few.
I recently acquired the above mentioned lathe. It had an X Axis servo driver issue which has been solved. Now when I attempt to home it, I am getting an error message that the machine has hit a limit switch when it clearly has not. Z axis is fine ( I can jog it), the problem seems to be with the X (If I attempt to jog it, it moves a couple "thou" and quits). I have found the switch on the cross slide but am at a loss where it connects to the control. No idea if it's supposed to be open or closed and I was hoping to throw a meter on it to shed some light.
As you can tell, electricity is not my strong suit, but I get by :-) Thanks for any suggestions!
