General Mach Discussion / Where is the Driver Test Utility located?

Where is the Driver Test Utility located? I've looked around the FTP site, with no luck. I've installed Mach3 and am trying to go through the tuning process. I'm having a problem with the Taig CNC Z axis. A rapid up, fails 2 out of 3 times. I call for 1" move, and the head raises about an 1/8th inch then buzzes. Of course the following downward movement wants to bury the tool into the stock.

I've been rooting around the web site, and can't find the Mach 3 doc. I found some "preliminary Mach 2 doc". Hopefully every question isn't addressed via the forums.

General Mach Discussion / Taig CNC MicroMill - Mach?

« on: July 25, 2006, 10:20:45 AM »

Well this is probably one that's had more than a few silver bullets pumped into it.  I have a Taig CNC MicroMill that is a seldomly used hobby machine. I have the updated controller board (that uses 1 parallel port) for 4 axis. I've got the 4th axis rotary, etc.    I tried Mach 1 or Mach 2 several years back, and the support was slim to none.  Is anybody using a Mach product (which one???) successfully with the Taig CNC?  Is there a user group of Taig users?  Is Mach overkill for the Taig?  Will Mach 3 run on Windows XP with a 1GHZ processor?  If YOU were setting up this mill, which Mach product would you use. I'm currently using MPS2003.  Any other hints would be great.


Thanks - Jim
