I appreciate the comments on the thread I started. I got my K2 3925 and am prestty satisfied with it when it was set up for Mach2 but under Mach3 I struggled. I needed the Mach3 because I had purchased the tool height setting attachment from them and they said I needed to upgrade to Mach3 to use it. It would have ben nice to have the correct .xml file so I could get it up and running.
One thing I noticed is that after I got it to run a program and move correctly that when I manually pressed a limit swithc it jogged the axis away from the switch. This was a problem as the macro they gave me to run for tool height setting was tied into one of the axis and when the plunger was depressed it jogged in linear and was a bad situation. When I turned on "emulation" on the X,Y and Z in "ports and Pins" this stopped. Now when I run the macro for tool setting which is the same as provided from Mach 3 it asks if I zeroed off the part and when saying yes it moves in the Z- direction but when the plunger is depress on the height setter nothing happens. I have gone to the diagonostics and can see the switch light up when depressing it so Im trying to figure whats up?
Anyway Im liking it but a bit frustrated right now. I will post a picture of the final set-up thats inside of a sound dedening box with dust collection, lights and a custom machine table with fixturing when Im done. What catagory do I post any pictures of it in?
Thanks, Keith
