General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 pauses at M3 and M5 commands
« on: July 30, 2018, 01:50:17 AM »
The M3/M4/M5 commands are far too slow for laser work and as Gerry has mentioned you need to be using the M11P# / M10P# commands.
Even if you use the M11P#/M10P# commands you cannot directly transition from GRBL generated Gcode because under Mach the S#### commands will break the Constant Velocity chain and you will still have pauses which will create unwanted burn marks.
If you want to reproduce 8 bit photographic images then please have a stroll through this thread, a number of solutions are described; http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,12444.msg242678.html#msg242678
