General Mach Discussion / almost Newbie lost x axis movement

« on: February 13, 2013, 04:26:19 PM »

 
Hi all,
I was thrilled to have the little Sherline Lathe up and running and I machined a miniature baseball bat. 
I moved the setup from home to school but when I went to demonstrate it to one of the other teachers I lost the X axis.  I have lots of spare parts so I replaced the driver box, stepper motor and all cables, thinking that something had been pulled apart in the move.  No luck, and I can not identify any changes in the configuration screens
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have attached the xml file in case someone can see the problem there.
Thanks again,
Norm

General Mach Discussion / Newbie Looking for help Re: Sherline advice or documentation

« on: February 07, 2013, 02:03:00 PM »

I am currently trying to set Mach 3 on a Sherline lathe using a new Sherline controller.  At this point I can get one axis to jog or move in respones to G Code inputs, but in one direction only (regardless of whetheror not I use positive or negative inputs.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Norm
