Thanks Brett,

I appreciate the info.

Can I just install the newer version over the older one? Or, do I need to uninstall the older version?

Thanks,
Jack

General Mach Discussion / If I upgrade to a newer version of Mach will I have to reset any settings?

I am wanting to upgrade to a newer version of Mach3. Apparently,  my version is the one that has the spindle reverse pulley bug. Was downloaded around July 2010 ( I think??)

I know I can save my .xml file and reuse it. Are there any other settings that I need to make note of?

I have taken pictures of each screen, in the event that something happens and they have to be re-done completely.

Thanks,

Hood,

I like that and may steal your idea.

I was wanting to mount the button on my pendant. Sometimes I drop the pendant and it could hit the corner of something that might activate the switch.

The covered button suggested by Hood sounds really good.

Thanks,

Let me know how it works out.

I have just been afraid  to set up  1 button, because accidents do happen.

I have been thinking about doing the same thing.

On my set-up there will be (2) button  switches that have to be pressed at the same time.

Hopefully this will eliminate any accidental activation.

Thanks Hood,

I'll look further into that.

No Hood, Mine doesn't do that. If I am running something in back gear ( low range), I choose reverse spindle  in the wizard I am using.

If it is G-code generated by Mastercam I just change it manually.

Is there  a setting that I am overlooking??

Thanks,
Jack

John,

My spindle speed is pretty close on the high range.

I kept changing the pulley ratio in MACH 3  config  for the 2nd pulley, and trying to call it "low range".

I just ended up guessing at it and it seems to work ok for the low range.

In a program you have to change M03 to M04 if it is in low range, for forward direction.

As long as I'm the only operator, no problems.
