Mach3 and G-Rex / Mach 3 wont start where left off after restarting...

« on: August 09, 2014, 12:39:20 AM »

Hi fellas,
   I am having some trouble with my mach 3. I used to be able to shut down my PC in between tool paths and come back..Turn my PC on... change bit and touch off then run next toolbar and it would be fine... but lately if I do that when I turn PC back on it will be off and ruin the piece im working on . Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas!

Hi guys, im non stop messing things up here the last few days. Ugh... this time I zeroed out the wrong axis after I changed tools and was tryingto just zero out the z axis. Is there any way to find out what my home position was for the last toolpath so I can just type it in and go back to there? Please let me know. I aappreciate any support. Thanks again!

Mach3 and G-Rex / Need some assistance PLEASE!!

« on: February 21, 2014, 04:21:32 PM »

Hi guys! I am in need of some assistance. Here's my problem. I have a 3 axis cnc and I am running Mach 3. I am cutting out a gun grip. I ordered really expensive wood and the grip requires  7 toolpaths and obviously the screw holes have to be right on etc etc. I ran my first 2 toolpaths. My first 2 toolpaths use the same bit so I didn't have to zero out... NOW... My third toolpath needs a bit change... so I zerod out with the new bit and I forgot to turn the drive switch back on and ran the toolpath on Mach 3. I immediately noticed and stopped the toolpath on Mach 3 and then closed the file and reopened it... then TURNED ON the drive on my processor box. But it was in the wrong position. I then hit the "ref all home" button thinking it would take it back but it didnt. Now it's all out wack I feel. Is there anyway to get it back on track without ruining the wood? PLEASE let me know. Thank you so much for any assistance!
