General Mach Discussion / Aspire and Laser

« on: October 17, 2017, 01:23:51 PM »

Hi all,
I have a Heiz 1000 machine and use Vectric Aspire software.  I also use a Kress router.  I have been thinking of getting a laser but have a problem understanding how this actually works.  I have read that the "on/off) is triggered through the Z axis but I need to have the Mach3 settings also I never see a cable being installed into the controller so I am confused about that.  So to recap, If I get a laser, I can mount it and Power it but everything else is sorcery. so can someone point me in the right direction on install the Z drive physically and the Mach3 side of it.  Any help would be gratefully received.

General Mach Discussion / Not working after update

« on: September 14, 2013, 09:34:13 AM »

Hi guys,
I just updated mach3 to the latest version and it's thrown a wobbly.  Basically, I done a 5 inch test cut but it  seems to go through the correct motions but cut approx. 5 mil.  I have been told to check gcode but it seems ok.  Is there anything in the config I need to look at.
regards
Dave
ps.  I am a comparative convert so simple talk would be appreciated.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to rotate my file by 90 degrees when it has been loaded into mach3?
