If it weren't for bad luck, I would have no luck at all!
My belt drive arrived last week so I was finally able to start using my new X2. I spent the week end milling the parts for my manual power drawbar and all worked very well, until today. I was hogging out some 6061 with my 5/8" end mill and the mill spaz'ed out. Right in the middle of the cut it throttle came wide open on the thing (I swear the RPM must have doubled) and I had to hit the estop.
I did a lot of reading this evening and the problem that most closely fits my situation is, failed Mosfets due to excessive vibrations. So I had mt son help me remove them. I held the solder iron and the board and he held the Mosfet. Well, even after I had ask him to not pull to hard and to not rock the component (He has ADHD), that is exactly what he did and he removed the solder eyelets from the board along with the mosfets.
So long story short (I know, it already to late for that). I am looking for a replacement board. I have been to all of the links and threads so I have a good idea on where to go from here but since some of those threads had older information, I was wondering if anyone has come across a new solution.
Thank you
