Hi Alan,

This question has come up before but I have not been able to find the relevant post.

I don't think you can download the video's - they have to be watched on-line.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Z axis off, can't resolve the problem.

Set Z zero and the cutter to be the top surface of the work then run your Gcode file again. Assuming the cut depth is wrong then if the Z axis is jogged (or MDI) to zero does the cutter still touch the surface of the work ??

Hi Ken,

Welcome to the forum.

When you purchase a Chinese machine it is most unlikely to be supplied with a genuine Mach3 license.

I have no idea why your screen has boxes across the top, it is not a license issue.

Rename your Mach3 folder to Mach3 backup (or something similar).
Download and install a fresh copy of Mach3 http://www.machsupport.com/software/mach3/
Copy the <your profile> .xml file from the backup to your new Mach3 folder.

Mach3 should then work correctly.

Hi Eric,

I have not yet found anything in your .xml file which may need changing but, as Gerry suggests, your X axis could be stalling.
To test this try temporarily reducing both your Velocity and Acceleration settings in Motor Tuning for both your X and Y axes by 50% (saving the changes for each axis) then report back on the result.

Thanks Dave--

Can anyone comment on whether the S word is recognised in the initialization string ?

This may be what I am missing?
fred

The S word is indeed recognized in the initialization string for Mach3.

Hello everyone on this forum, could someone tell me where I can get or pay the license of this software NFS turn wizard  thanks.

consta

NSF turn operates under the same license as the Mill Addons.

But check with licensing just to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

It could possibly be an issue with your Mach3 settings. If you post a copy of your .xml file I will take a look. (Copy the <your profile>.xml from your mach3 folder, rename it to beaubois.xml then attach it to your reply, using the additional options tab).

You would perhaps need to contact NFS Mach4 licensing directly (http://www.machsupport.com/contact-us/) to get the definitive answer but I suspect you are locked into the existing system that you currently have.
