Thanks for the reply.

I went to the MDI part and did what you suggested. The X and Y axis's moved about 6 inches each way when I used that command. When I did it with the Z axis command, it moved down 1mm.

Thanks,
Craig.

General Mach Discussion / Chinese 6040 machine trouble cutting anything

« on: February 12, 2016, 07:43:22 PM »

Hi, thank you for looking.
I purchased a Chinese 6040 cnc router and for the past 4 months I have tried over and over again to cut a single piece of anything. I am at a complete loss and I don't know where else to turn to for help. I don't know any one that I could even pay for the help as I would if I had to. I have watched the help videos so many times and I have the machine set up according to the book and all the axis's operating like they should and I zero the Z and set the X and Y axis's as shown. All I ever get when I start cycle is it either just drills straight down or moves to position and does nothing and it doesn't cut.
I created a very simple circle pocket using cam software and even when I cycle start that, the bit just goes straight down. I am at a loss what to do next. I would gratefully appreciate your advise.

I have attached simple circle pocket I made but nothing works not even the sample gcode that comes with mach3.

Cheers,
Craig.
