My Grizzly G0619 mill

Been a busy weekend . Although it doesn't look like much it should work well. It's amazing how fast you can
fill an electrical enclosure
 

Nice.  Tidy.

Especially like the double-stack over the power supply - those things always take up a ton of space.

Whats the board mounted on the left side?  Field wiring breakout?

If your referring to the boards with only white and blue wires going to them with the fuse holder in the middle then yes
One is for mainly inductive loads, fans, relays, ect.the other is for switches and such for the 7i76e .
If your referring to the 2 boards on the left side wall then they are break out boards for the 2 DB37 connectors that I
am using. One to the G0619 itself and the other to the Human Machine Interface / computer.

    So I installed the controller and had my first moves last weekend. I have a basic for now configuration.
I am trying to retain power taping and just waiting for a part . I finished step / travel calibration.
Today I installed a tool height sensor. All was going well until. I went to set the maximum X travel to
determine the sensors location and was completely oblivious to the fact I was at the end of the X axis
glass scale's travel and shattered it. .
To add insult to injury the manufacturer of the DRO isn't making that model of scale anymore.
So now I either buy and install an entirely new DRO system or do without the X axis dro . I guess
the only up side is I had already did the steps per inch travel calibration.
if their was ever a "Case of the Mondays" ( Office Space reference ) this was it.

Sorry to hear about your scales. That would be shattering!

As much as I love the tapping feature on my Seig SX3 look alike and I've tapped thousands of holes using it), I can't really see how useful it woud be on a CNC mill.

Instead, consider thread milling. NYCNC has a lesson on it using F360 and it is just so simple I have no idea why people bother with rigid tapping!
I have an M8 x 1.25 thread mill and if I buy the right bolts, I can do M8, M10 and M12 threads using it.

Thanks rodw. I see what you did there. I think Rigid Tapping makes sense on full scale production CNC machines . That said unless the machine
has an ATC it's WAAYY overkill. Plus in the case of the SX3 / G0619 although having a cogged belt drive system
still has to drive through a spline because of the quill. As such Rigid tapping isn't a good idea.
  I have never tried thread milling, I guess I will have to give it go soon. The reason I am keeping the power tapping
function is out of convenience .  I already have a spindle motor / controller capable of doing it.
