I'm still using a version of mach 3 that came out in 2012.
Last week I tried to do some power tapping, and it wouldn't reverse the spindle.
A buddy of mine said that I needed to upgrade to the latest version
What is needed for this?
Do I need to backup my settings?
Thanks in advance

I am not sure that the upgrade to a later version will solve the problem you are having, however…

Download the latest version from the Artsoft website here; https://www.machsupport.com/downloads-updates/mach3-downloads/

Make a secure backup of your existing Mach3 folder (just in case).

Install the latest version over the top of your existing version.

Restart Mach3 then you should be good to go.

Ok, I may do that. This version works great, except that I have to add M04 at the bottom of the tap cycle.
Is there a way to go into the tap wizard and change that?
