Hi there, I am working with Bobcad cam V28 and mach 3 using a usb motion control card. I got everyting working fine but my Z axis does not pick up from one cut to another. I can jog the z axis up and down so, the motors are working. Using the wizards on Mach 3 it shows the z going up and down. any suggestions ? thanx Luan.

General Mach Discussion / Stepper motors slow

Hi there,   I build my own CNC plasma using Bobcam cad v64 and Mach 3 on my lap top with windows 10 and USB port  , driving 3 nema 34 steppers. Everything is working fine exept my cutting speed is slow but jog speed is fast. I had issues with my metric conversion that seems to be working now. I changed inches to millimeters in my post proccessor but did not insert my G21 in the beginning of my program could that be the problem. Please help as it is my first try at the CNC game.  Thanx guys

Hi there i'm using bobcam-cad V28 set to plasma to Mach 3 on a laptop. My drawing is simulated OK, but as soon as I post to mach3, that runs in plasma mode the units jump from mm to inches everytime. Both cad and mach is set to mm .Could it be my post processor (mill plasma) that is set to inches? Or have I missed something.   Thanx Luan
