General Mach Discussion / MACH3 - 4th Axis Readout
« on: July 06, 2019, 07:13:48 AM »
I'm running a Sieg KX1 with the 4th axis enabled. Mach 3 recognises the 4th axis stepper (drives a rotary table) two Newbie questions;
a) How do I get the Mach 3 main screen to show the axis position in degrees and;
b) What's the best hobby level CAM software to drive the 4th axis?
My setup is a dedicated Dell Optiplex desktop running XPSP3 with networking disabled (i3 processor 4GB RAM 250GB HDD). The apps are Mach 3 (As locked down by Arceurotrade) and CUT2D.
All works really well - should have go into this years ago!
Just want to progress with getting to grips with the 4th axis.
Best regards
Steve
