Title: Feedrate Overides in Lathe
Post by: Hairball on April 05, 2009, 12:22:18 PM
I can't seem to get the feedrates to overide, plus or minus, in Mach 3 Lathe (Version R3.042.020) while machine is cutting. I searched here and
messed with OEM codes and Gen config stuff as suggested but no luck?

Hi, Danny

I use a Modified Mach3mill.set (screen set) and changed the .set to Lset file type all the over-rides work just fine.

Hi, Danny

Hears the Lathe. lset file, Install it in C:Mach3 folder, It's a work in progress screen Lset.

You need also install the Zip file (JPG's) in C:\Mach3\Bitmaps\MillBitmaps folder.

Edit: New 1024 CHIP LATHE D1ACC.set some added items.

Have Fun, Chip

I too use a modified version of my mill screen as I never liked the Standard turn one, however I was testing for someone a week or two ago and FRO was working fine for me on the standard screen.
 If Chips doesnt sort you out attach your xml and I will have a look see if I can find a problem.

HI Guys,
Sorry about not answering sooner. I used your modified .lset and it is working just fine, thanks so much.
I also just renamed a mill.set to mill.lset and it works good also
Thanks for helping out as you always do...
