General Mach Discussion / Re: Panasonic CF 18 and Mach3

Many thanks for your quick reply.
I wasn’t expecting a reply so fast never mind one from Scotland.
I have done the test with the laptop on its battery  and it has a flatter line then the one demo on the Mach3 web site but when I plug in the mains adapter
I get a red bar on the screen which says pulsing to slow.
Any Ideas ?
Regards Stuart

General Mach Discussion / Panasonic CF 18 and Mach3

« on: March 23, 2012, 03:33:23 AM »

Hi all
I am new to CNC and Mach3 and would appreciate some help if possible .
I have designed and built a 1200x1200 router and would like to use a Panasonic CF18 laptop just because they are dust proof and have a touch screen.
Does anyone have experience using a cf 18 and Mach3 .
I live in the Orkney Islands in the north of Scotland so you can imagine there is not a lot of help to be found locally.
I have had my own business engraving glass, crystal, stone and some metals for around 18 years  and wanted to try something different.
I served my time as a wood machinist more years ago then I want to admit and thought with my engraving experience mixed with a CNC router I may be able to make some interesting products.
Any help would be appreciated       
Kind regards Stuart
