General Mach Discussion / Introducing a break in the machining job
« on: February 13, 2007, 03:43:47 PM »
Hello,
With my friend we are using Mach 3 on our small CNC during our leasure time.

We have a question?
How is it possible to introduce a break in the cycle of machining in case of machining for long times (above hours)?

We'd like to have the following actions:
- after 1 hour of machining,
- move up the Z axis for about 10 mm,
- stop rotation of the spindle,
- make a 15 min. break,
- start again rotation,
- reach the last point and continue program.
 
Please advise ! ::)

Do we have to use macros or is there another way already forseen in Mach 3.

Thanks from France!
