General Mach Discussion / Screen resolution

« on: December 18, 2008, 01:58:47 PM »

I just bought a new dell 9inch laptop . is there any way to change mach3's resolution on this laptop since max resolution is only 1024 x 600 and not the regular 1024 x 768 ........

Is there a button or key that controls the E-stop instead of activating it by mouse

This will only be for creating G-code when not at home

Any suggestions are most welcome and thank you

Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / Taig CNC mill

« on: October 06, 2008, 12:43:40 AM »

Hello everyone , I bought a taig mill a few months back and am now starting to learn to run it with mach3 . for now I write my own code with the blending of wizards till I eventualy learn CAD . I just installed a vacuum pickup by the cutter bit to keep the mess down to a minimum and to also keep the path clear for the bit . the next upgrade will be DC drive with a variable speed control . I will be making parts for my remote control boating hobby and will be selling made up parts for other modelers by request . here are two videos one of the mill and the other of my other Passion . please enjoy and all comments are welcome

General Mach Discussion / help please

« on: September 18, 2008, 03:59:09 PM »

Hello everyone , I have started using mach3 for about 2 weeks and am getting comfortable writing my own code but being a novice I need a bit of help..... . in the pictures below the motor mounts have some curvy lines . can anyone give me some G-code examples of what to input to make an arc instead of a strait line going from point -A to point-B

these are two motor mounts that I made last weekend for my RC boat that I uploaded to youtube
