General Mach Discussion / Re: Cycle start and spindle start

« on: November 18, 2020, 01:08:16 AM »

That is the way of Mach3 and we generally learn to use things the way they are.

You could of course change the way Mach3 works for you by using one of the screen editors to change the Cycle Start button from an OEM to a VB Button which could then contain the code of your choice.

Try running the Axis Calibration wizard (Settings page) just to check that you have your Steps per Unit set correctly for each axis.

There is more than one way of achieving this type of offset machining and Roger has explained in detail those methods in his .pdf document which you can download from here;  https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=33595.0

Hope this helps.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Incomplete GUI

You are using a very old version of Mach3. The final version can be downloaded from here; https://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Mach3Version3.043.exe

Just run the install over the top of your existing version but make a backup of your existing Mach3 folder just in case you need to transfer any custom macro's etc.
