Mach4 General Discussion / Carving comes out 4 inches off center

« on: July 01, 2021, 04:41:12 PM »

I'm putting this problem in Art Soft because I don't know where the problem originates from. I'm using the center of the project as the center point and the carving starts out well but then the spindle shifts about 4 inches off center and continues. If I allow it to run its course it does the rest of the carving 4 inches off center. I cannot tell where the problem is. I'm using mach4 ver. 4.2.0.3461 the machine is home built and I have been using it for about 4 years.

Thank you in advance

SmoothStepper USB / Ess Reset Velocity N. Disabling mach

« on: June 18, 2018, 12:57:46 PM »

I built this cnc router and tried to fire it up to drill a series of holes to screw the spoil board to the table. I am using mach4 (the trial version) ESS, the new version and V Carve Pro. A couple of question here: I did a little drawing to lay out the holes, tool path etc. and saved the tool path, when a tool path is saved what file ext. does it save as? Mine saved as a txt. I used that. When I ran that I got a message, "ESS Reset Velocity N. Disabling Mach". What does that mean?
