Add On... 1-I am using the same XML file on both computers could something be wrong there? 2- I have not noticed this happening when cutting air, only while actually cutting.

General Mach Discussion / Computer Freezing up only running Mach3

« on: September 15, 2016, 04:22:14 PM »

I set up a dedicated PC for a 3 axis router.  Windows XP,Intel C2D 2.66Ghz, 2GB, 160GB,No internet. Over a year in the build and tinkering stage and the was happy enough to really start to make some things. Till this point I was doing manual input of G-code or files say less than a couple hundred lines. Feeling more comfortable my cut file got much larger. This is when I first started to notice problems, Keyboard freeze, computer freeze, Ghost E-stops are the major things that I remember. I blame it all on the computer and decide to replace it and buy the time I got the bugs out it all the same problems are back within a couple of days trying to run it. I hope someone can point me in a good direction. BTY the original is running fine now that I am not using it on the router.

Tweakie, I cut the logo you made for me and loved it except It is the mirror image when I cut it. I verified my axis are moving in the correct direction according to Mach3 keyboards commands. I tried the G68 command and not sure I fully understands how it works. Any suggestions you have would me greatly appreciated. Oh and till now I had now idea that metric g-code would run on my machine.
Thanks Hawk.

Thanks Tweakie, that is awesome. I will try to cut it tonight. I see you used Vectric to create it, do you know of a good program to do this that not so pricey?

Tweakie, I came across this and hope you could point me in a good direction. I have made my 3 axis cnc router from scratch and very happy with the results so far I have used the done some pocketing and cut files I have downloaded. Now I want to make a drink coaster with Alabama football logo on it. I think this should be a simple enough project, any suggestion on how you would go about this?
