General Mach Discussion / Re: Best Screenset for Mach3?

Hi,
The same guy, Robin Knox-Johnson was loading his boat Suhali in preparation for his solo non-stop circumnavigation in 1968 when a reporter
who noted the seeming vast quantity of beer, wine and whiskey he was loading aboard and commented so to Knox-Johnson and Knox-Johnson
replied  " any fool can navigate around the world....but it takes an expert to do it while drunk!" LOL

I think that may have been Sir Francis Chichester - but who cares, you can never have too much booze on board a yacht.

There are a few threads on the subject, this one, I think, explains the issue; http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,38014.msg258239.html#msg258239

Have a read through the manual for Gerry's Mach3 2010 Screenset; http://www.thecncwoodworker.com/downloads/mach3/2010%20Manual.pdf

Is this what you are looking for ?

Thanks for the update Doug, I am pleased that you finally have it sorted.

Your experience, in many ways, is not unique – Here in the EU we have CE certification, which adequately covers electrical safety but it only relates to the ‘point of sale’ and many unscrupulous dealers make the ‘point of sale’ China (or a country outside the EU) in order to circumvent the regulations.
Obviously it is ‘buyer beware’ but something that is often not considered is that if the buyer subsequently re-sells the product (even second user) within the EU then the seller is responsible for the all the CE regulations being met. As you can imagine the penalties for default are quite severe and if anyone is injured as a result of this then the penalties can be really severe indeed. (Perhaps interesting to note that the ‘point of sale’ for e-bay items is outside of the EU   ).

Thank you for your reply. I have a issue as the spindle speed goes up so does the speed of X and Y, to the point I shut down as the movement is very erratic plus the vfd is pulsating at low speed and at the same time also the x and y. regards Stuart

I suspect that may be a problem with your Motion Controller rather than a problem with Mach3 itself. It will be interesting to see if the problem persists after you have completed the re-install.

I would like to reinstall Mach3 correctly from the start again, and get rid of all the bugs. Where should I look for documentation and help.

Not certain which bugs you are referring to but...

Make a backup copy of your existing Mach3 folder (to keep a record of your settings) then download Mach3 from here; http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/ 
It can be installed over the top of your existing version.

Looks like it is a problem with your generated Gcode.

If you attach your Gcode file it can be checked.
