LazyTurn / lazyturn toolpath generation

« on: January 14, 2022, 01:01:31 PM »

I have read and reread the manual and cannot find my answer. Lazyturn seems to generate toolpaths from max x to min x. How can I change it so the paths generate from min x to max x?

« on: March 11, 2019, 02:53:49 PM »

Sorry, I didn't see a turn specific area. I am a new user to mach3 turn, I have noticed turn is doubling my part size. For example my part has a radius of 5.5 inches in lazy turn when I bring it into mach3 turn it becomes 11.0 inches. Is there a setting I missed?

General Mach Discussion / maximum work area

« on: December 28, 2018, 12:21:53 PM »

I have scoured the manual and cannot find what the max work area for mach 3 is. If my part is less than 12" x 16" all data imports into mach 3, if larger only part of it imports. Any thoughts?

I have a need to know how long any program will run. The program simulator under the tool path tab only runs part of the program. Is there a way to convince the simulator to include the entire program?

General Mach Discussion / 4 axis dilema

« on: April 19, 2017, 02:03:56 PM »

Not sure this is the correct forum, I am building a larger router table and am using two steppers on the x-axis. I know one will be considered a-axis. My dilema is should both steppers rotate the same direction or should one rotate counter the other?
