Title: New to Forum
Post by: older_pup on October 06, 2016, 10:00:10 AM
I've been using Mach for about 15 years, but new to the group.

I've come here hoping someone could talk me thru a new machine setup. This is a rather long story and I don't want to get into it to deep.

I decided to start from scratch setting up a lathe using Mach3. I downloaded the latest and greatest version and went to work. My machine will move in X&Z, but will not home and spindle will not start. I'm using an XP, lathe is EMCO PC50, I copied the Mach3 Turn and am using this, switched to Diameter mode and loaded data to ports and pins, motor tuning, Gen. Confg. and home info.

There is a lot more to this story, but this is a start.

Thanks for your help
