General Mach Discussion / calibration problems need help please!
« on: March 23, 2006, 09:20:43 PM »
hi everyone
i'm having very good luck using mach 3 however i'm have a major issue with calibration
I am using a 5' X 12' router table. It is 3 axis and uses 3 geoko drives with 1.8 stepper motors
My problem is... when i use settings -> calibrate, I enter 2 units (2"), take the measurement and enter that.
Then the machine is perfectly accurate at 2" however is more than 1/2" off at 120"
So, then i enter calibrate 120" take the measurement and enter that.
Now the machine is perfectly accurate at 120" however is more than 1/4" off at 2"
Therefore,... I cannot use this program (I think i might not have all settings properly adusted)
I need the machine to be accurate to 1/64... is this possible?
Thanks in advance
So you See, I just can't win!
