Is there anyway to move the MPG Mode and job buttonsfrom the right side of the screen to the left or even in a seperate window?

*****VIDEOS***** / Z-axis problem on our drill

We are having an issue with our drill.  It will run the .mmg file just fine, but over time the Z-axis on the drill starts to go higher and higher which causes the drill-bit to eventually not even touch the slab of wax in which we are trying to drill into.  Any ideas on how to fix it?

General Mach Discussion / Just switched from Art to Part to Mach3 and my Z is going crazy

« on: August 02, 2012, 09:09:06 PM »

I use ArtCam JewelSmith 2008, with a 3 axis mill.  I save all my toolpaths to an .mmg file.  Once I switched to Mach3 with a new 4 axis mill, my Z is going crazy.  My CAD software will save my work to about a hundred different G-code files so what is the best one to use with Mach3?  My mill is a Taig with Gecko stepper motors.  any help is appreciated.  Chuck
