The mill is now working at full capacity!
I ordered a replacement return spring from Enco and installed it today.
Now everything seems to be working. We can adjust the return force, right now it is just counterbalancing the weight of the spindle.
I tried to update the wiki but the mill is no longer listed in the “tools” area. Weird.
Here is the URL to the mill page:
http://wiki.hive13.org/view/Enco_RF-30_Mill
I’m not sure how to add it to the general tools page (and I’m not sure why it disappeared).
Next steps are to add the X and Y scales that were loaned by another member. Should no be too hard. Just have to make some mounts for the scales and connect them to the DRO.
Good times!
