Mach4 General Discussion / Probing Help, angle measurement

« on: January 20, 2022, 11:52:04 AM »

I'm trying to run a angle measurement from the probing page and keep getting the error: "invalid plane selection for coordinate rotation" my loaded Gcode includes a G17 and I have tried inputting a G17 in the MDI but still get the same error. Any ideas out there?

Mach4 General Discussion / Mirror Toolpath

« on: December 09, 2021, 03:09:04 PM »

Is there a simple way to mirror a toolpath to cut out a mirror image? A search brings up using "-1" as a scale factor in mach3 but I don't see the scale option in the screen set I use in mach4

Thanks,
Nate

Mach4 General Discussion / Tool changing to wrong number

« on: September 09, 2021, 10:39:07 AM »

quick question as I imagine I've managed to change a setting somewhere and dont realize it. I have a funny problem that popped up this morning where when a tool change is called it removes the current tool then picks it up again, starts and then changes the call tool number to the tool that should have just been changed to. It has been working fine for months..... CAM in fusion 360 heres an example of a tool change gcode

Mach4 General Discussion / Rounding of top corners

« on: July 28, 2021, 09:36:14 AM »

I'm having a problem with my new router with the top corners being rounded over, especially when doing parallel finishing passes. I've played around a bit with the z axis speeds and acceleration numbers but haven't had any real luck. I'd like to avoid turning off CV and going to exact stop because I do a lot of 3d finishing and my understanding is that is this would be less then ideal. Is there a way to turn CV off for the Z axis?
