Is it possible if I can set a permanent home point in Mach3 so whenever I cut on my machine it will always start there pls let me know how I go about it Im asking this because I want to mill a big L on the one side of the table making it easier to line up material on the bed and therefore I need that permanent home point

General Mach Discussion / Z Axis motor skipping

« on: November 13, 2007, 12:02:30 AM »

I recently loaded Mach 3, the latest version but am having a few problems.The Z axis motor skips on its own, I have tried everything 2 different pcs, changing the APCI power driver to standard PC, motor tuning but nothing seems to work.I am running a 2Ghz AMD pc with 640MB DDR Ram and XP.I have a 1Ghz P3 with 256MB Ram but the Z motor still skips on its own on this pc.Both seem ok with the driver test. This problem is really frustrating me as my router is almost finished but with this Z motor problem I cannot use the machine.Someone reccommended I use Turbocnc but I want the user friendliness and features  of Mach 3.Pls Help

Kind Regards
