General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 or machine problem?

« on: June 03, 2020, 07:55:39 AM »

I can't recommend any particular motion controller because they each have their own merits but as I mentioned above one that I use is the Warp9 ESS which can be used with and has plugins for Mach3 and Mach4.

Hi Peri_95,

It is not a Mach3 bug otherwise we would all be breaking router bits

My advice would be to bin the cheap Chinese XHC card and fit a quality, US or EU manufactured, motion controller - it will save you money in the end. Selecting a motion controller that will also work with Mach4 would perhaps be good for the future.

(There are a few different motion controllers to choose from but one that I use is the Warp9 ESS).

In Config. / Ports & Pins / Motor Outputs, change the Dir Low Active state of the axis you wish to reverse direction. Apply the change.

Hi John,

Very nice looking machine.
You are using the latest / best version of Mach3.

There is something not quite right dimensionally with your Gcode file but I am not clever enough to spot where the problem lies. I suspect that Mach3 thinks there is not enough room to apply the cutter radius compensation (lead-in) so it takes an alternative path.
Incidentally UCCNC also reports cutter radius compensation warnings when your Gcode file is loaded which may confirm a Gcode dimensional error is present.

Hi John,

In Mach3; Help / About will show the Mach3 version number. Which version are you using ?

Sorry but I was thinking of other things when I mentioned Motion Controller I should have said what CAD/CAM software are you using to generate the Gcode ?

Hi guys,

This is really weird and something I have never come across before.

Which version of Mach3 are you using and which motion controller ?
