General Mach Discussion / Staying with the same (0,0,0)

Does someone knows a trick how to preserve the location. I want to drill, get the  piece out, and then return it to the machine and continue drilling. Its important to be exactly in the same position, not even a millimeter away. i mean in position, the piece height and location.

General Mach Discussion / All axis move in one direction

« on: December 30, 2012, 03:23:19 PM »

 The axis (x,y,z) all move just in one direction! at the beginning the machine motors span OK, but  then stuck on one direction. I tried changing to parallel port (ECP), it did not work. I work with Sherline CNC, Mach3 program. Any other suggestion ?
