How to start with CNC 6040  machine 3

     This part is about setting up the high speed controller that . Since I got the European version which is powered at 220 I had to adapt.  In US 220 V is usually used for appliaces that draw a lot of power like dryers, ovens. It has an extra line for 120V .  For the controller we actually need only
2  lines that bring 220 V and another one for ground.

High speed controller
The controller is pretty good , quality wise.
Ii is very useful because different materials have different cutting speeds. Also it has a display that makes it easy to set the speed.

Power plug
The power plug has usually 4 wires, but we need only 3.
