gotta share...
I purchased the IWF machine in Atlanta, picked it up Sunday. I live near by, no big deal. Got it all hooked up and going and resolved the E-stop this morning with the missing jumper... I ran about an hour jogging, cutting with no bit and the spindle off, ran 4 different files to get the feel.
Then I decided to go for it... I setup a sheet of foam and told it to start... as I watched the bit lower, lower, lowe... umm... why isn't the bit lowering... nothing seems to be happening... it's all sitting still... hmmm... I turn to see the Windows blue screen of death... PC shut down... turns out the hard drive died right then and there... WHAT TIMING!!! LOL!!!
Off to get a new hard drive! I ALMOST cut something ;-)
What are the odds...
