General Mach Discussion / Problems with threading R3.042.040?
« on: March 12, 2014, 04:12:10 PM »
Hi All,
First post here after plenty of searching on the forum.
I have a Denford Orac Lathe running mach3, which I have purchased a licensed copy for.
Up until recently I haven't done any threading, but once I have tried, I am running into a few problems.
The Z axis will move nice and smoothly for most of the passes, then odd ones it jumps and loses its "timing", creating either a double thread or ruining the thread completely.
I have read that some versions of Mach have issues with threading, and I'm pretty sure my steppers are not missing steps, as auto turning operations run problem free.
Are there any known issues with R3.042.040 with threading?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Paul.
