How to best code Brother synchronized tapping?
Back in the first week of April Brother Frank gave a chart on the M-241 through M-250. The default was set at 6000 rpm for tapping I think.Like I said mine does not have this feature. It has something to do with time constant when tapping. If you have problems tapping this might help the...- tc227

Transferring programs to machines?
Hyper terminal works in windows 10. You have to down load this off the Web.I use it on my tablet. I have no handshake capability with it because the CNC mill doesn't support handshaking. -

Fadal 3016 or robodrill t10c
In the first years (1991-1997 approximately) of G code programing there was no G1 X and Z moves or G1 Y and Z moves allowed. You can rapid (G0) the 3 axis. The A control Solved these issues for a 3 axis feeding along with better RS232 communications.- tc227

Fadal 3016 or robodrill t10c
If your not in a rush and like to work on your mill, than FADAL. Most crap that goes wrong with a FADAL is usually easy fixes. A Robodrill T10 is fairly old and not very heavy duty and likely more ware in the screws.- tc227

We just went through this with M241-M250. Tap time constant selection if your mill has this. I think it is pretty cool. I'd try M242 if your mill has this option. Mine doesn't.- tc227

Maybe clean the encoder, check for loose wire or connector,maybe pinched wire. The plug for the servo motor might be wet or reset the plug.

Tree Journeyman 325
Tired My TREE would always make big heat in the spindle and would act like it is seizing in the Z quill. My solution was to replace it with a new 2002 HAAS TM1 and scrap the TREE.- tc227
