General Mach Discussion / Anyone using Mach3 for Water jet cutting.
« on: November 12, 2008, 11:54:59 AM »
I have explored this forum quite a bit, and I have not found any references to water jet. Is anyone using Mach3 to do water jet work?
We started cutting our projects using the “Plasma” profile; however I have not been able to find any place to adjust for the width of the water stream. Changing the code from G40 to G41, or G42 does not seem to help.
I have noticed the “Mach 3 Mill” has a place to change the Offsets that does not appear in the “Plasma” profile.
If I try to use the “Mach 3 Mill” profile, nothing happens (no movement).
I have been offsetting the lines of the drawings .020 to compensate for the thickness of the cut, but this is not a good way to achieve the compensation.
Any help would be appreciated.
