General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 scale problem. runs fine manually, scale changes drasticly...
« on: March 14, 2008, 03:26:45 PM »
I am running Mach3 on a wood router that i built. The driver board is xylotex and I am running a slaved A axis A-slaved-to-Y.
When I run any of the axis manually I can change the steps per rev till I get an accurate linear travel in the axis.
For some reason when I run a Gcode program or a wizard the part that is cut is vastly larger than the gcode or wizard says it will be.
I have changed the motor tuning a dozen times, saved it, restarted mach3 etc... I cant get both the manual jogging to be accurate and the Gcode/wizzards at the same time.
Any suggestions/ideas/help would be awesome!!
Thanks,
Nate.
