General Mach Discussion / Start and end points misaligned?

« on: November 02, 2018, 01:07:49 AM »

Hoping someone can help me, Occasionally, not every time, the end of my toolpath doesn't line up with the start on the x axis. I'll continue to do some testing but I thought someone else may have encountered this error and has a suggestion. Thanks.

General Mach Discussion / Rapid Feed Rates vs Cutting Feeds

« on: October 05, 2018, 04:06:21 AM »

Hi all,

This is my first post and I apologise in advance if this topic is general knowledge or has already been covered. I did search the internet trying to solve my issue but couldn't find anything.

I'm aware that in g-code G0 and G1 are for rapid and cutting movements and my code includes these, my problem is that my machine (3 axis router) only ever moves at the Feedrate speed defined in Mach3, I have unchecked the "lock Rapid Feed rate to Feed rate" checkbox in the settings but it does nothing. The slider to the left of the FRO slider has no impact.

My support staff for my machine said this was a Mach3 issue.

Currently I have to manually ramp up the speeds between cuts otherwise it takes so damn long to travel. Someone please help, thank you.
