It depends on which version of Mach3 you are using.
If your script runs fine without the line then keep it that way.

The line...

 DoOemButton (1003) 'Cancellare una possibile condizione di feed-hold

will turn the spindle OFF.

(That particular line of script was found necessary following a Mach3 revision in 2012 which prevented the script execution if a feed-hold condition existed. You could perhaps investigate other methods of cancelling a feed-hold without actually using 'Stop').

If your X axis is still stalling then my guess is that your Velocity and Acceleration (in motor tuning) is still set too high.

In any event reduce your Kernel speed to the minimum needed and stick with version .062.

Can you attach your .xml file (<your profile>.xml found in the Mach3 folder).

The Novusun software installation installs a Pirate Mach3 license.  http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,24331.msg238650.html#msg238650 as a result no support for this product is provided by this forum.

Try reducing the X axis Velocity and Acceleration by 50% in motor tuning and save the changes. Close then Restart Mach3 - does it still have the same problem ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Windows 10 update -- don't do it

Seems the best policy is still, no production rigs on the internet if at all possible.  I am still happily running Windows XP on a number of my machines.  No reason to do anything otherwise.

Me too !

During the last 2 years of occasional internet browsing, although I have looked, I have never seen any Gcode posted for stair spindles. Not sure why because stair spindles are quite a popular item for wood turning lathe users to make. Anybody like to make any guesses as to why ?

Fiber lasers open up a whole new chapter, their different wavelength enables metals engraving and many other things that can’t be done at the CO2 wavelength. However, CO2 lasers can do many things that Fiber lasers can’t so best to decide on the final product required before choosing the laser type – or perhaps have both types, after all it’s only money
