Finally got my building built and Pro 8 put together initially it wouldn't home figured out that the proximity plate for the limit sensor was off fixed it got machine to home. Now spindle will not start tried starting with controller. Tried running the spoiler board program after setting up the tool height motor never came on. Unscrewed and re-screwed all connections still no joy in mudville. The VFD shows F400 Stop LED is lit and FWD is lit. Any ideas?

Reset E-Stop switch(es) Mine has two...one on gantry, one on Hust controller. There's a setting in my controller by which you can turn off the spindle (used for laser and when using a drag knife). Poke around in your controller's config file (in the manual) and see if it's turned off.

Also make sure your shop wiring is correct...220v-240v 10 amp dedicated circuit (per your manual). Mine needs 15 amps. Both use the same NEMA 6-20 plug...when looking at your breaker panel, you should see a DOUBLE pole breaker on that circuit.

I have a 220 20AMP Circuit. I have the RichAuto B18 controller. I only see the one E-Stop on the tower.

I checked the voltages on the plug and its correct.

Did you get the laser and wire in the controller for that? If so, there's a (poorly marked and non-documented) switch on that laser controller to go back & forth between laser & spindle. If it's in the "Laser" position and the laser isn't hooked up, nothing is going to happen when the program calls for the spindle to turn on.

I did get the laser but I have not installed it. This could be the issue. Where is the switch and do I have to install the laser to fix it. I also noticed that the table size is wrong in the controller the y is off should be 1220 but shows up as 910. I have not figured out how to change it.

Well it was quite easy to discern the problem when I opened the controller box. The relay had fell out and was laying in the bottom. Plugged it in. Now Spindle works. Thanks for all the replies but maybe this will save someone some time in the future.

I had not installed the laser so that was not the issue although I could see where it could be.
