Mach3 under Vista / 2% jog (.001) Metric on Axis A & B not accurate

« on: December 05, 2022, 01:50:25 PM »

I recently purchased a (Mach3 v 3.043)5 axis ChinaCNCzone machine with WHB04B-6 4 Axis 6 Axis USB Mach3 Wireless Handwheel Controller Remote Hand Control CNC Handwheel. attached. The problem is that the 2%(.001) jog doesn't seem to work very well on the A and B axis.
I would expect that on the 2% scale every click of the wheel should move the B level .001 mm. I can move the wheel several clicks before the B axis actually moves. When it does move it jumps 5-10 thousands. It's making the zeroing of these axis extremely difficult. Is there something I've set up in the tuning of the axis of Mach3 wrong?

Mach3 under Vista / Viewing Macros

« on: December 02, 2022, 07:45:54 AM »

Hi New guy here
I recently purchased a desktop Mach3 6040 5 axis cnc from ChinaCNCZone. The problem I'm experiencing is that the support sucks mostly because of the language barrier.
There are a bunch of custom M-code macros included; however, I don't know what the macro (m-code) functions are because I'm unable to view the files or get a list of the m-code functions. Can anyone here point me to a method of reading these macros?
