New G0704

[Rbeckett]

Bix,
Thats great!!! Glad your arm has healed enough to use it again. Be carefull and follow your Drs instructions on recovery. Dont want to have a warranty repair on a rotator, believe me. Dont forget pics too. We never seem to get enough pics, so snapp a few as you go please and dont hesitate to post em up. If you have issues getting them to post any mod will be glad to help you get that fixed pretty quick. Thanks for showing us you new machine!!!

The G704 is a very nice mill for the price. I use mine 6 days a week. The speed has been increased to 3500 and 1750 rpm, high and low respectively, with a simple Vmax pot adjustment.

A pancake fan and fins keep the motor temperature under 100° F.

The pulley and weights keep my arm from tiring.

May I ask how you did your speed increase?

Thanks,

It is actually very easy. You need to remove the back cover and adjust the Vmax pot to its fullest + amount. Do this at your own risk.

Ok, thanks for the tip, but I heard conflicting results for that trick where some folks had ended up with a bad controller because of doing that.

I think I heard it on the CNC Zone but can't remember now or I'd refer to it.

Thanks again!
Dave
