General Mach Discussion / Re: Looking For Help

We are in central northern Michigan, 60 miles north of Saginaw.  Our machine is no specific brand, it was put together by someone in SC. It has three axis. My husband is the one who knows about cnc machines but we are just not able to get this one to run right so want to start all over.

General Mach Discussion / Need help with machine set up
« on: June 27, 2013, 10:54:55 AM »


We have a cnc that we would like to use to cut steel silhouettes and market them at craft shows. It came with Mach3 already installed and was supposed to be set up ready to run. We have not been able to get it to run properly. The guy we bought it from has not returned any of our phone calls. Then we find out the Mach3 is an unlicensed copy! We need help desparately in making this thing work asap.We need all the electronics that go with it also. It is a three axis cnc machine. So looking for someone to fix us up with the electronics needed to run the machine and configure Mach 3 to go with it.  Is there anyone out there that can get us  set it up and ready to go? We are willing to pay for your expertise! Financially, we need to make this thing go very soon. Located in Michigan. HELP PLEASE!!

When we purchase Mach 3 is it going to tell us how to set our machine to it?  That is the problem we seem to be having>

We are new users of Mach 3 and are trying to cut silhouettes out of metal. We are not able to get our Mach 3 to config or cut correctly and are very, very frustrated. Is there anyone out there in Michigan that would be willing to come to us and help us for a day. Willing to pay for time and travel.

I am new to the CNC world and could use some help. We are wanting to cut steel silhouettes out with our plasma cutter. I currently have CorelDraw, Aspire (Vetric), Sheetcam and Mach 3. I have a lot of silhouette patterns that I made in CorelDraw several years ago when we had a laser and cut them out of Masonite. I would like to use them and some new ones and make a business selling at craft shows. I have taken all of the silhouettes from CorelDraw and exported them as dxf files. I then put them in Aspire and created a gcode for them. However, I think my cnc machine thinks it is supposed to carve them because it will sometimes cut the same lines out several times. Also, the z axis will pick up and down each time it cuts out a line. But if I put the dxf drawing into Sheetcam to create the code, I can't tell where the image is going to cut out on the material or what the size of it is. Ideally, I would like to make a 4x4 sheet and then transfer it to Sheetcam but don't know if that is feasible or not. I did get one image to cut in Mach3 but the outside line cut way off center of the image. Can someone give me some beginner pointers of what I should be doing or am I in over my head?
