General Mach Discussion / brand new set up with brand new computer---need help---

« on: February 28, 2009, 10:07:54 PM »

Hey there folks.

I have been using Mach3 for 3 years now. I started from scratch with the help from Brian from New Fangled. 3 years later my computer told me to  and crashed like a plane. I just bought a new computer that is built just for CAD. Fast as a fighter jet...
I have two PCI  parallel ports  that run a old Anaheim controller, but it works for me. I have BOBCAD V23. and still use V20.7.
What I need help with?

I purchased the M3 back in 2005 and that computer hard drive is toast. Do I need to repurchase it? Or can I re-down load it with out charge?
I know what do when the software is in the new computer.
I think I'm supposed to download the latest version of M3, is this true?

Anyone?

Thanks so much..

General Mach Discussion / Back Lashing??

« on: February 06, 2006, 11:01:28 PM »

 ???Any ideas on how to understand why a machine seams to be back lashing but its really not. All part programs run nice and smooth but the overall results are .02 off on all axis. A programed pocket at .5 width ends up being .480. New bits too.
Offsets are all zero. Program design math is all verified and correct. Is it something in Mach3 or maybe the machine???

Anyone have a guess?
