General Mach Discussion / Editing Gcode question

« on: June 30, 2017, 07:35:38 AM »

After saving my Crv files in Vcarve Pro and changing it into text files for Mach3-I have one letter on my engraving project that is not cutting deep enough. How do I edit the text files in Mach 3 and how do I know the exact ones to edit to allow the engraving to cut deeper on just that letter?  Thank you!

Is there a lower cost alternative Digital Step  drive that works like the Gecko G540?   I understand though you get what you pay for.  Thanks!
