General Mach Discussion / Homing a machine without limit switches installed?

« on: December 12, 2018, 07:49:10 AM »

Hi everyone - I've tried the search and Google found some results, although it won't link - since the search is broken.

That said, is there a way to Home the machine (and save it)  without limit switches installed? Machine is a Sieg Super X3.

Thanks!

General Mach Discussion / Syil X3 Spindle Not Turning On (and) Axis Moving SLOW

« on: February 11, 2018, 09:30:55 PM »

Hi everyone -

I recently bought a used Syil X3 milling machine. I bought and installed Mach3 on my WinXP computer. All went smooth. Now, I know nothing about CNC and am learning, so I'm going through my frustration period now 

I hope this is the right place to post this - and I did do some research using the Search function, but couldn't get any answers to my specific problem/machine.

So here goes - I have 2 issues I'm facing:

1. I can jog the table and head, but they move REALLY slow, and using the shift-key, doesn't make it go faster.
2. My spindle will not start. I can turn it on by pressing the button on the machine itself, but now using Mach3.

I guess I'll stop there and see if there are any suggestions on where to start.

Help!!
