General Mach Discussion / Manual Z offset while program is running
« on: September 05, 2014, 11:05:22 AM »
Hello Everyone,
I am new to Mach 3 and only recently returned to cnc machining. It's been over 20 years since I last ran a mill but I do remember that I could offset X Y and Z using the pendant while the program was running. (on the fly) Does Mach 3 have this capability? I have a vistacnc Pendant which I could program any function from Mach. I have a cutter path that I would like to use as the rough and semi finish without having to make new paths, just offset Z to remove some stock before going to the finish cut.
Regards,
Chris
