General Mach Discussion / Re: Pause and re-start not working correctly

Dave,

Thanks for the feedback. After doing a few searches I found a piece on the SmoothStepper site(I'm using SmoothStepper) that describes a similar problem and they recommend installing an older more stable version of Mach3. I'm currently on 066 and they say 062 is better.

General Mach Discussion / Pause and re-start not working correctly

« on: February 07, 2017, 07:54:57 AM »

Hi,

Seem to be having trouble with pause/re-starting Gcode and wondered if anyone else has seen this problem and perhaps have a solution. It doesn't happen every time but this is the second instance where the cutter has gouged a job after restarting from hitting the space bar. If i'm going to pause the router, I try to pause on a straight cut and this morning it continued in the same direction at the correct height after re-start but then removed a radius turning it into a chamfer then continued on the same line straight through the stock!

The other day I had a job with a long machine time and nervously stopped a started about four times without a problem. I thought the first time was just a one off and then it happened again today.

Any solutions/advice would be appreciated.


Steve.
