General Mach Discussion / What have I got and what do I need
« on: July 15, 2011, 01:00:12 AM »
I bought a cnc router and Mach 3 and hope to make wooden gear clocks.
So far I have worked through the tutorials and can get the simulated program to run Ok.
Now I am confused and stuck with tool offsets.
What doesn't lazycam do if it is invoked by a licensed Mach 3.
Obviously gear teeth routed out can not be correct if tool offset isn't taken into account.
I suppose my question is do I have to buy anything else.
