I have uncovered my lathe to do a quick job that is into day three now. Love it. But, I am up to trial number 9 now so am reaching out.
Requiring to machine a button I have downloaded a version of ECam. Its done all the correct things except for make my lathe work. Setting the piece in the chuck, hit go, the machine will jog at full speed (turned down because the saddle is not easy to move on this machine).
Then when cutting operation begins, the machine will feed at say 0.3 m/min. Real slow. Ive changed all the speeds in Ecam but no change. I am wondering whats going on?
I did think to try the rev/min option. No change. The spindle does have a speed sensor which is working but on or off, no change. Cant work out why the feed wont speed up. Can someone please take a look and see what is wrong with either my version of mach 3 or the gcode I have created with ecam?
