General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 and Mach 4 Questions

I see. So it should be more like

G96 S.25
G46 S3000

The max spindle speed for the lathe is 5000rpm and I only turn aluminium pcs. Could you add a section of code as an example?

Also the imperial turning tool call outs are from bobcam. We run in metric for dimensions. I just haven's gotten round to creating a metric tool table in bobcam as we have only started using it in the last few months.

Thanks for the reply. The bobcam post processor outputs like this:

(TOOL #3 80 DEG. 1/64 ROUGH TURNING )
N02 G00 G54 G97 S5000 M03
N03 T0303 M06
N04 G50 S5000
N05 G96 S2250

General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 and Mach 4 Questions
« on: June 29, 2013, 09:40:57 AM »
Hi All. New member long time user of Mach 3. I run 2 Denford Triac VMC's on Mach 3 and a Denford Cyclone on Mach 3 Turn. ATC's on all machines with dedicated macros.

I guess I have 2 questions which may become 2 topics:


1. Will the turn software be revamped in Mach 4? Are there any screen pics as yet?


2. How is the constant surface speed programmed in Mach. I use BobCAM for SolidWorks to create my programs. It outputs as follows

M3 S5000
G96 S2000

However the machine errors out with the G Code?

Thanks in advance.
