Rather than bump my old thread, I'm starting over with a new problem. After a factory reset, and following the correct section of the correct manual, I have the mill running on the TECO. Starting however, is inconsistent.
Sometimes it starts up smoothly like my VFD powered lathe always does.
Sometimes, it rattles a bit, and then proceeds to run smoothly. Belt drive?
Other time, it rattles a bit, and settles into running at either 1.6 or 0.6 Hz. It cannot be adjusted from there. I have to shut down, and restart, which I think always works on the next try. WTF
Yesterday was the first I spent much time running this, or any, mill. I turn it on and off a lot (Lathe has a clutch). 1/3 starting fails has gotten tedious. I welcome any suggestions as where to start tuning or troubleshooting.
