General Mach Discussion / Feed rate changes.

« on: January 17, 2017, 11:41:38 PM »

Hello everyone,
Can the feed rate be changed when just jogging the axis around while using the x, y, z keyboard buttons? Do you have to be running a gcode file in order to change feed rates? I'm assuming feed rate is the speed your axis move around on the table. So if i want to change the feed rate is that done with the button on the main screen of mach 3? I am very new to this. I just got my router cnc going on Sunday for a few minutes. Thanks in advance.

General Mach Discussion / Soft limit setup?

« on: January 14, 2017, 04:46:28 PM »

I need help setting up my values for the soft limit. So when I home reference all it goes to the bottom left corner of my table. If my table goes 30"+ in X, Y directions what would I put as my soft limit values? I don't want it to travel to the left or towards me any further. Is z referenced from the top of the table surface when setting up the soft limit for Z?
Thanks in advance.
