Well, I don't know much about LinuxCNC, but if your motors are locking up that means your drivers are working as they should. I have a 6040 router (among other cnc machines), but I use Mach3.

Are you in Florida, by any chance?

I have a Chinese table top cnc machine.that have had it for a year and not been able to get it working. Did replace the ball nut on the x axis as it was broken in shipment. I am trying to use linuxcnc got it loaded and running but cannot get things to work at all. When I plug the serial cable into the machine the stepper motors are energized meaning I cannot turn them by hand. I am asking so many questions, that I am embarrassed.
I am so lost and need help. Please can someone help me, a telephone call would be great. I am 70 years old
and really needed help as i am wheel chair bound. Thanks for listening to my rant.
