Mach4 General Discussion / Y axis is jumping

« on: March 27, 2021, 04:02:09 PM »

Hello All,
I run a program and it goes through the program just fine. I put in another part, Y axis jumped about .125, I keep running the program and it does fine except for the .125 initial jump. I put another part in and Y jumps another .125.
I run the  program from a cad drawing or enter the g code myself, and it does the same thing. When I use jog it is consistent through all parts. Could this be a glitch in the mach4 program?

Mach4 Toolbox / not drilling

« on: February 23, 2021, 05:45:19 PM »

Hello All, I have a program that I have used several times and it worked fine.  Part of it is drilling holes, I tried again today, when it gets to where its supposed to drill several holes, it moves along the correct tool path, as it gets to each hole it very briefly stops, hums, doesn't drill hole and moves on. I did mess with the "config. > control > motor and thought I got it back to the original numbers, but it still does the same thing. any suggestions?
