General Mach Discussion / Re: Z losing zero position in rapid move up
« on: September 13, 2018, 12:44:20 PM »
Good points, I wasn't sure about the backlash theory, since it doesn't seem to be a problem when running g code. Only when rapid up then back down manually. So I'd imagine it's losing steps as y'all have suggested. I'll try reducing the speed and see if that helps.

I'll give that a try and see what happens. I was thinking more along the lines of a backlash problem. But I've read of others having problems losing steps.

General Mach Discussion / Z losing zero position in rapid move up

I've got a Sieg KX1 and have had it for since 2011, and just recently I've noticed that the z will lose a position after a rapid manual move up. Doesn't seem to be having any issues while running a program, only after I rapid the z up and recheck the zero postion, usually only by .003" to .007"

Any ideas?

At the top of the screen, config then select native units. You will need to recheck all your motor setting I think.
What will it do to the motor settings?

General Mach Discussion / Having trouble, need help with inches-mm
« on: May 08, 2011, 05:38:40 PM »
I've just got my machine, and was giving Mach3 and everything a test, and I'm stuck in mm and need to get to inches...I may just be overlooking something, but can't figure out how to switch...?

New member here, my name is Doug, just bought a Sieg KX1. I've been a machinist for close to 20yrs working in a tool and die shop. Just decided to get my own machine for home to make small parts. This machine is a bit different than what I'm used to, been working with Hurco's my whole career, so conversational programming has been the majority of it, also we use Surfcam for NC stuff. Anyway, just though I'd introduce myself...
