I'm just guessing really.

Are there any hidden safety switches?
Could one of the limit switches be jammed on?

Might be a broken wire.

The E-stop button is not pressed ?  (always ask the simple question first)

Sounds like the "enable" signal to the drives is missing.

also i know I have to install Couple of Files, and I need to add few Tab Page to My mach3, Could you please provide the Links for them?

Hi,
It really is not that simple which is why the replies are slow - you will certainly need a custom macro written, tabs/pages on Mach will all need custom development and so on.

I'm looking at this soon and I am still learning how big this task is.

BTW - Are you on a MAC browser - I am and I cannot view the videos either - they use Java/Flash and that is a bit of work to get going on a MAC now due to its security issues.

Confidence is rising.......

That explains it

It sort of worked but was very poor in response.

Glad you sorted it.

Ok, did you copy the new M84.m1s macro to your macros folder - it will not work without this.

Next, the parameters must be in the right order.

P = Pitch
Q = thread depth
R = speed feed
S =  speed retract

Next, I am not using feedback, in spindle I am only using "use spindle feedback in sync modes" - i found closed loop/PID not to work very well.

Take the M3 out, the spindle is controlled internally by the M84 routine - its scary but does work

Your parameters are in the wrong order too

Should be M84 Q P S R

Have you got the full M84 output code?

Should appear like this...

M84 Q11.262 P0.8 S350 R350
