FAQs / Re: I do not understand

Hi Thomss,

The X,Y,Z,4 DRO's are in Units.
If you have selected native units as mm then the DRO's are in mm. (If you have selected native units as Inch then the DRO's are in Inches)
The units for the 4 DRO is usually always Degrees.

Hope this helps,

Tweakie.

Mach3 has a limit of 10,000,000 lines of Gcode even after licensing.

Still a way to go Chris.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle delay

« on: August 22, 2010, 02:12:15 AM »

Hi Jim,

There was a video posted here a little while back which showed exactly what you are asking.

I think it was done by using the Z axis direction pin to switch the spindle motor.
A Z minus move turns the motor on, which stays on until a Z plus move is encountered.

I switch my laser on / off this way (but using the B axis direction signal).

Hope this helps,

Tweakie.

Keep this up Chris and you will be the first person to exceed the licenced Mach maximum line limit. 

As always excellent work.

That machine has virtually been milled out of the solid. 

Nice work Sam.

Thanks for the pictures Tony. If this works as good as it looks (and I am certain it will) you are going to have a machine to be really proud of. It looks so professional
