That looks like an RB1 that I ran with a Bp head on it.... Not a bad mill and I liked it more then a knee mill

General Mach Discussion / Re: Old MAXNC 10 newbie questions

Nope, it is not a nerve I am just trying to set everything straight...  Mail and Forums are not that good at showing emotion

In Quantum we are going to change how all this is done and I think you are going to like how we are going to work it... We are going to take the settings and move them to the PlugIn. There you will only have the settings that you need... But you have to know that you are doing something that you only do one time, If you have to change your Pin settings every time you run your mill I think there is a problem .

You will not see any Docs on Sherline more because it was done to make Sherline mills work in Mach3. It just happens to be something that helps other drives as well (2-3 years later). You can check Sherline mode but it is not going to change anything in the driver We locked out the settings in the code.

You are correct MaxNC mode is only setup in one direction, It should be the correct direction, I hope

The Checks that you are looking for can be added but this is a section that we get such little support on that we have not taken much time to go back and add code. We are going to keep working on bugs and get the software running as good as we can for the users and after that we will see... It may be time to go back and add a few dialogs for you 

Later and best of luck with the mill!

You need to set your Max velocity to about 25% of what it is now. You do this under your motor tuning. If you can't run at 100% jog you will not be able to run a G00 (Rapid) move.

You can restore your offsets if you saved you fixture.dat file in you Macros/ (Your Profile ) directory

You have to do it like this

#1=1.312   ;FIRST HALF CIRCLE RADIUS
#2=-1.312      ;SECOND HALF CIRCLE RADIUS

General Mach Discussion / Re: Rutex and Mach3 problem

Keith,
Good to hear that you have the Motors just about running! If you are getting the pulses to the Rutex boards it is not a software problem   I think that you will find it is a problem from the BOB to the Rutex board. I would check to see that you have the jumper on the BOB set to Com ground and Not 5V (Just an Idea).

It is the accel time that is the problem... Change you shuttle Acceleration time in the General Configs and see if that helps. You need to have the moves ramped or you are going to have lost steps

Your second one is how you have to do it
