O ok, I know what it is, I will post it when I get home, I am not that much worried about the heat of the steppers at the moment but I am about the Drivers, I think that this could be my problem to the off center.. But I think that if it was the heat that causes the movement to be off it would have been irregular, but it is not, it just works skew, the thing that boggles my mind is that when I run a G-code rough cut it all looks fine. then when I run a finishing program for the same job it starts fine but progressively moves in the X+ direction ?? puzzles me .

yes stepper motors are getting very hot, thought that would be because they are working a lot but it is really hot, can not keep my hand on it for more that 5-10 seconds? what XML file ?

Hi Guys

I am very new to the forum and CNC scene so please bear with me..
I am having a similar issue wit my machine (3 Axis router) I do not know much about coding.
I am using Mastercam X9 and MACH3 to host my machine
I am getting this error when posting the G code ??
I dont know if this could be related to my machine starting of fine and then slowly as it moves on the it starts to cut skew as if the ZERO mark is moving. Just the X axis does this.
The machine hase 2 what looks like Chines stepper driver and one gecko drive tis is the x Axis one and it gets hot, I made a heat sink for it to absorb some of the heat but this did not solve my problem, I am sure that the problem must be in the code.
I have checked mechanical stuff like backlash etc.
when in mastercam the operation looks fine.

pleasure Steven

well this error seems to pop up regardless what type of machining I am doing?? It must be something in the POST CODE that is not right

Hi

I am new at this forum and cnc stuff, You can find what you are looking for at
 http://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Mastercam_mach3b.zip

I also have a problem with my post processor, I use mastercam X9 with MACH3 post
but I get this error msg when I post the G code.
