Hi Tweakie


Will do, although the one I'm using in the Mach3 folder is indeed the one that came with the machine

Yes indeed sir, but the one in your Mach3 folder reflects your actual set-up (which may contain installation, accidental or other errors) and these (if any) are what we are trying to find.

Hi Rusty,

If you could also post your .xml file - not the one sent with the machine but the one from your Mach3 folder - copy and rename it to say rusty.xml then post it using the Additional Options tab we can check your settings and see if we can spot a problem with your set-up.

Hi Khalid,

I have not yet tried your latest version but I have used an earlier version about a year or so ago to generate my Gcode when experimenting with different methods of machine control.

Your .xml file appears to be OK (runs fine here) so I suggest you re-install Mach3 and see if that resolves the problem.
Keep a backup copy of your .xml, screen .set, macro folder and license file just in case they are needed.

It would perhaps be helpful to others if you attached a .zip file with your software.

What are people thoughts on having a water table?

I have been trying to work out how I can get the table into the back section of my workshop and it would be extremely tight with the bandsaw and the plasma. If I did away with the water table and just has a portable grid of 2500mm x 1250mm that I could pull forward when I am using the plasma it would make things a bit less cramped.

Pics below of with and without the water tray. In the second pic the grid would be in this position when not using.

I think you need the unit next door as well.

Copy the .xml file that is in your Mach3 folder, rename it to tkreeger.xml then use the reply button and attach the file
using 'additional options'.

Looks like an extremely neat solution - if you go for it please let us know how it performs.
