General Mach Discussion / Need some helping slaving!
« on: December 28, 2016, 03:07:49 PM »
Hi Guys,
Its my first time building a CNC and also using Mach3. I am trying to build a CNC foam cutter. which only has two axis both slaved. The Y and the Z.
So far I have managed to slave my Y axis fine. I am trying to slave my Z axis. So far it only moves in one direction and when I jog it the other way the numbers move on the DRO but not the motor. The motor seems to be trying to turn a few steps but stops. Any ideas?
