Mine's been broken for a while and I think the service guy said the encoder was bad. He disabled the 4th (though it still shows on the position page- i don't have to home it out though) and i've been running that way ever since. As I recall, it would move just fine until you hit this one particular spot and the machine would throw a red overload alarm that I'd have to power cycle the mill to clear.

Im thinking about trying to fix this myself to save money. Just wondering what I'm getting into.

Anyone torn into one of these before? It's a Tsudakoma unit on my M32 V10 vertical mill.
