I have a fan on my GRBL board, and this was never an issue before. I also was air cutting and it was only running a 5 minute "air cut".

Opps, fixed the video.

I seem to be having a problem with my z axis motor. I appears to be "turn off and on" while running a job. It works perfect about 85% of the time. I've checked all my wiring and voltage, all seems well there. I'm wondering if the driver is going out, or some other issue. Any ideas? I'll post a video...

Alright, I'm bad at updating posts haha, but here are some pictures of the setup. I drilled a little hole through the top and pointed the sensor at the top of the shaft inside the router. The top of the shaft is painted half white half black for it to register the rpms on the Super-PID. http://i.img...

Adding a few photos of some of the upgrades Ive done over the last few months. I upgraded to 9mm wide GT2 belts.

Got my z axis all put back together today :). Now I don't have to leave the top off the DW660 to get it to clear the old nema 17 mounting plate. Im using the Inventables DW660 mounts, and they have issues with clearance as others have pointed out on their website, and here on the forums. Now we have...

If you check out this site and go through the drop down menus it looks like they have them http://www.bbman.com/catalog/category/timing_belts

You don't even need G43.1. If you know the thickness of your touchplate, hold-down bracket, and so on, all you need is the probe command and G10 L20 P1 Z<thickness> (or G92 Z<thickness>, if not using work coordinate systems). Assuming you are using an all metal body router/spindle you could technic...

I have had no issue running a 5-6 hour job. I was doing a relief map of San Francisco, and I did it over 2 days.

The reason I decided to purchase one was to help with the clearance on my Z, so I could put my DW660 back together. Im using the Inventables aluminum mounts and the Z plate doesnt allow for full travel. From what it looks like it should clear no problem once I get this installed. http://i.imgur.com/...

One thing that they do have is a custom firmware to adjust the Z to the material based on how high the touch plate is sitting. Basically it knows how thick the L shape is, and adjusts based on that.
