Anytime I try to load from the ‘LPT’ it tells me tape error ?
I was wondering it you knew where I could find the settings for that LPT port behind the FE02 power supply.

Maybe I didnt connect the parallel cable at the right place behind the power supply.
if you got it working, can you send me a picture of that pcboard behind the FE02 ?

I have not had time to mess with mine in the last couple of weekends. It is on the schedule for next weekend. I am going to try and get a spark then. Again this is exciting.

Looks like the power supply is up. I killed one of the pumps trying to de-rust it because it was seized, so I will have to use just one pump for flushing. But this dry test seems to work so I’m going to move ahead with getting the flushing system up and trying some cuts. Have you made any progress? Heres a pic

BTW does your PW14H have only one pump to send flushing to the guides? On my PW20X one of my pumps is dead and I may need to reconfigure it to use one pump for flushing instead of two.

I just have the mill package, however the rep said to use 2-D mill set up and write if feeds and speeds. I will see if that works. The cost for a wire package in either delcam or mastercam is out of my range. My tank is a PW14H. I will take pictures of the filters that I got from them this weekend and post them. I cleaned the tank it was just a sludge pit when I got it. It did cause some leaks that I had to fix so be careful.
