General Mach Discussion / Re: NEED HELP WITH GCODE FOR LASER ATTACHMENT

« on: October 23, 2020, 07:47:00 AM »

You have probably done all this already but just in case…

For laser use Mach4 and the ESS operate at their best when used as defined pairs. The latest known working ‘pair’ is Mach4 v.4517 and ESS v.260 – perhaps check that you are using those builds before proceeding, then follow the laser setup instructions (including the macro additions) provided by Warp9 on their website.

Various Mach4 development builds can be downloaded from here;
ftp://machsupport.com/Mach4/DevlopmentVersions/

The ESS / Mach4 laser setup details and required macro’s are here;

You can download my Vectric / Mach4 / Laser, post  processor from here; https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=36640.msg251176#msg251176

Hope this helps.

Are you usingthe M62/M63 commands for switching your laser ?
Which Motion Controller are you using ?

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: MACH4 with ESS G73 not working correctly

« on: October 17, 2020, 05:27:52 AM »

G73 seems to be working OK for me.
Could you perhaps .zip and attach your problem Gcode file then we may be able to discover where the problem lies.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Slaving Y axis with B Axis

« on: October 16, 2020, 08:25:51 AM »

what would you say is the difference between Mach3 and Mach4?  Worth it to move to mach4?

Mach3 has been around for a long time now and it became difficult for the software engineers to incorporate improvements so Mach4 was born. Mach4 is new from the ground up and can offer so many more refinements of screen design and customization of use.
Having said that I have both Mach3 and Mach4 - I only occasionally use Mach4 as Mach3 is still used for all production work (at least until covid created a lock-down and closed my workshop facility). I think I am now looking towards retirement so perhaps I will never use Mach4 for anything except testing & experimentation. If, on the other hand, you have great CNC plans for the future then forget Mach3 and look towards Mach4 which is the future.
