Hi,
Im new to the cnc scene and new to these forums, but have already gotten a lot of good information from spending the last umteen hours reading until my head is numb.
I, like so many other, bought a 6040 from ebay with the idea that it would work when I got it. Well it doesnt. I cant seem to cut the same part twice and it is mostly due to to losing steps in the x axis. Ive read so much about "just do yourself a favor and get the g540" that I am sure that's the problem along with wiring. The thing is, I am no electrician. I dont know how I need to install a g540. Is the power supply ok on the blue box of death or should I just fork out the dough for this?

Where do I get cables that will last and what actual connecters should I use?
I needed this thing to work all weekend and instead Im wasting loads of time just trying to get the first part cut correctly.
If the answers are already out there, then I missed them. The only real consensus is on the g540, but everything else hasnt been nailed down. I need the best "buy this, then do this and it will work" I can get. I am dreading the thought of having to pack this thing back up in those 2 boxes that the packaging material doesnt even fit in now, to return it. Ive already contacted the seller telling them it doesnt work correctly and that I would like to be refunded money to pay for a proper controller and wiring a couple of hours ago. I guess we will see what happens. The idea of paying 3 times as much for a comparable sized shop bot just plain hurts.
