I got to York today at 5:00. The KX1 mill is here, still in its crate and the crate looks fine- last year Little machine shop sent a demo and it arrived with a clear fork-lift size hole speared through the crate.

Lots of nice models in the auction, and a ton of great clock/watch tools.

I will be in the seminar room starting about 8:30 to setup and uncrate the machine. Brian and Andrew are doing teh all night drive thing, but plan to be in the seminar room by 9:00. Setup help, or just kibitzers are welcome.

The seminar will start at 1:00

It should be a fun weekend!

Yep, sold out a couple weeks ago.

There will be a couple CNC seminars on Saturday, and Brian will be in the Mach booth both days.

Can you tell if thre is any data dependency? Dos it only get into this state when you have some error like a zero radius?

The wizards really have no control of the button action- if mach sees the button press then it calls the wizard code,. Somehow mach must not be detecting the clicks. This is not on a touch screen is it? My touch screen often doesnt respond to touches, even though it beeps.

Yes, quite an old topic.

I dont really understand the shape you mean, please tell me a bit more about it. If there is enough interest I can add it to the set.

It sounds like you may have some bad code in the M3 macro. Ive never seen anything like this happen, and the wizards are just calling an M3.

Cut rectangle would go into an infinite loop if you requested a depth per cut greater than the total cut depth.

As usual, unzip this file in the MAch3 folder. You should wind up with a folder under Addons called Newfngled285. You can delete the old Newfangled and remove the 285 from the new name.

The zip file has been moved to the sticky topic at the top of this thread

OK, I found it and fixed it. See the new topic on V2.85

Sorry for the delay in getting to this- I missed your original post.

It looks like you have found a bug. The preview code works OK, but the post does not. Ill get it fixed and have a new  version out soon.

You are using V2.79, get teh latest version it has been fixed.

The latest versions are always posted in this forum See http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,14399.0.html

I just got a KX1 and while setting it up, in inches, because thats my native unit, I found I needed 12744 steps per in instead of the calculated 12700. I posted on the smallcncsupport site and got Adams expected posting to use metric.

Just as a test I did a metric setup and made accurate measurements and found the pitch must be 502, not the calculated 500.

The machine has a slight pitch error in the screw, it may well be within tolerance for the screw design.

Bottom line is one should measure his machine accurately and set the steps per to the measurements, not to the calculated value.

Im doing a training video for LIttleMachineShop and I will be covering this is some detail.
