General Mach Discussion / Re: Router not cutting smoothly

« on: December 24, 2012, 08:33:02 PM »

I too am having the same issues. To the point that the router actually begins to rattle. I am using MasterCamX2 to create the programs. Cuts great in straight lines but hesitates and "jerks". I cut letters for a sign shop and I'm afraid that this is causing damage to the router.
Help please.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Lingo

« on: December 24, 2012, 07:33:56 PM »

Just curious. I'm very new to Mach3 and would like to know if there is a place where I can get more details as to what the settings mean? I'm getting there as far as getting things tuned up but am still hunting and pecking to get my machine running properly. Maybe a little insight would help me.
Thanks..

FAQs / Jerky Movement on all arc's

« on: December 05, 2012, 02:58:15 PM »

When the router goes from a straight line into an arced line the gantry starts to shake and rattle. I've slowed down my feedrate, tried changing from CV to Exact Stop, changed the accel. from 10 to 20. Re-tuned my motors, all to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
