General Mach Discussion / Re: Working with MDF Safety

« on: January 23, 2016, 04:28:20 AM »

In the UK many of us (in particular those using lasers for cutting MDF) have switched to using the brand ‘Medite’ – the particle dust is still toxic and precautions still have to be taken, but at least it does not contain the dreaded  formaldehyde. Is Medite available down under ??

Going a bit off topic and just out of curiosity, are your MDF hull formers removed after the hull has been constructed or do they remain in place in the completed ship ??

Hi Malcolm,

Welcome to the forum.
I am sure we can all disprove the theory about teaching an old dog new tricks.

I am pleased you resolved the problem in a shorter time period than anyone here (and on the Warp9 forum) had to respond.

You will receive  a personalised license key file by email.

The Mach3 program can be downloaded from the Artsoft site http://www.machsupport.com/software/mach3/ and this can be tried (It is the full program but has some limitations in Demo mode) to establish that it meets your needs before buying the license.

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.
