General Mach Discussion / Re: Router spindle runs independent from Mach3

Thanks Nick,
Bit complicated for me at this stage. Given that I wont be changing spindle speed often I think I will buy a cheap hand held tacho and just adjust spindle speed using inverter control panel.

Cheers,

Barry

Thanks for the info Tweakie - sounds a bit advanced for me. I hoped I just needed to change speed control settings in Mach somewhere. Everything else works fine.

General Mach Discussion / Router spindle runs independent from Mach3

« on: April 27, 2014, 05:28:46 AM »

Hi,

I am setting up RhinoCad, Meshcam, and Mach3 with a Chinese router. Everything is slowly coming together but spindle will only run by using inverter control panel on front of router. Any settings in meshcam/ Mach are disregarded by machine and speed can only be controlled by turned knob on controller. Can this be bypassed ? If knob is set anywhere clockwise spindle will start and stop with Mach controls.

Any help greatly appreciated.
