General Mach Discussion / Trying to run a router table.

« on: October 13, 2011, 03:16:44 PM »

I'm trying to run an XYZ router table. I'm having trouble setting the Z axis and keeping it where I want it. I want to run a dry run of the part I'm cutting to see if the thing will cut. I'd hoped to set the the Z axis an inch over my substrate and run a test cut by fooling the machine into thinking it was in the 0.5 inch position to start. The machine keeps fooling my by going to the wrong depth.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Lindsay

General Mach Discussion / Can't always zero the X, Y and Z axis in Mach.

« on: June 16, 2009, 12:25:35 PM »

When I load a gcode from sheetcam to cut out a part sometimes I can get Mach to zero and sometimes I can't. I've cut a male part and had it work but when I loaded a part to do a relief cut it didn't let me zero the x, y and z axis. I'd press the zero button next to the axis and nothing would happen. I can't understand why. There must be some button I haven't activated.
Thanks,

General Mach Discussion / Sign done in relief (background routed out leaving the letters).

Hi,
I'm trying to route out a sign in relief. My question: is it possible to set different depths of cut for different parts of the sign. If so how.
Thanks,

General Mach Discussion / What is the ".net 2.0 update" from Microsoft

The download page says that LazyCAM Requires the ".net 2.0 update" from Microsoft. Could someone tell me what that is and where I can get it (I assume from MicroSoft).
Thanks,
Lindsay
