I had a motor on my MM X2 that ran what I thought was very hot. I had even mounted a CPU fan on top to pull xtra air through it. Notice I say "had" as it burnt up (shorted windings) after 50-75 hours of run time. MM gave me a new motor (props for that) and this one now has the same fan plus I...

Quick--somebody buy one of these and report back: http://www.grizzly.com/products/0-6-Digital-Fractional-Horizontal-Vertical-Remote-Scale/T21577 Can you yank off the 6" scale and replace it with something longer. I'd like to see what connector is hidden underneath that black-box on the...
