We haven't tried that yet. Would ball screw pitch compensation have anything to do with it? If so does Mach3 have a pitch compensation setting?

When I program to a positive 2.0 it goes to 1.0 away. When I'm milling a hole it cuts the hole to size but only goes half the depth I tell it. So if I program it .25 deep it only goes .125 deep. If I program it to Z0. It does go to 0.

General Mach Discussion / Z-Axis stuck in radius.

« on: May 18, 2017, 12:58:00 PM »

Just got my 6040 cnc. Naturally the controller was junk. Replaced the drivers and control card. Everything is up and running, still need to wire the vfd to the controller as well as the E-stop.  My only issue at the moment is the z-axis is stuck in radius.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
