Resume Milling Operation After Partial Run

Resuming Operation

1.  The work bay must be empty, so take the lower out before beginning the program. You must remove the 5/32" drill bit at the end of the program or it will crash into the table the next time you start a program.

Unplug the Ghost Gunner. Make sure to disconnect both the power supply and the USB connection.  Remove the lower and jig assembly from the machine. Then, remove the grip bolt and disconnect the probe wire.

Ghost Gunner 2  |  The rear stepper motor is on the back of the machine above the USB and power supply ports.  Hand turn the rear stepper coupling (cylinder attached to the motor) in order to move the end mill forward so you can access it with wrenches.

Ghost Gunner 3 | The stepper motor mount located on the Gantry can be used to lift the axis and make the spindle accessible. 

2.  If the t-slot table is raised all the way up, you will not be able to extend the tool forward. Plug in the machine and run Lower-t-slot Platform.dd found in Cutting Code/Troubleshooting Code on your DD USB drive. This will lower the platform half way down the x axis.

3.  Remove the bit and collet using the appropriate tools.

4.  Plug in the Ghost Gunner's power supply and connect the USB cord to the computer.

5.  Run DDCut, connect to your Ghost Gunner's port, and select the appropriate .dd file.

Selecting the Appropriate .dd File

6.  For this example, we will use the AR15 Code folder found in the Cutting Codes folder on your thumber drive.  Ghost Gunner 3 2020.04.22 USB is used as an example in the following images. 

a.  If you have partially completed the trigger well, just start the main cut code for that platform:

Ghost Gunner 3 2020.04.22 | GG3_AR15_Full.dd

Ghost Gunner 1 & 2 2020.04.28 | AR15_pocket+selector+pins.dd

b.  If you've already completed the trigger well, run ‘selector+pins’ file found in the additional cutting code folder to start at the selector hole milling operation.

Ghost Gunner 3 2020.04.22 | GG3_AR15_selector+pins.dd

Ghost Gunner 1 & 2 2020.04.28 | AR15_selector+pins.dd

c.  Use the ‘pins’ file if you've completed the selector hole.

Ghost Gunner 3 2020.04.22 | GG3_AR15_Pins.dd

Ghost Gunner 1 & 2 2020.04.28 | AR15_pins.dd

 7.  Follow on-screen DDcut Instructions.
