General Mach Discussion / Re: Ver. 037 Cut View and Tool Path Backwards with A Rot

« on: January 16, 2007, 02:43:04 PM »

Hi, Art, Brian and All

Hear is the view, Cut should follow tooth line.

During feed hold it finds proper position, on restart position is sometimes off.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, RMS

Should work, so many to chose from, there are so many ways to set it up the steppers.

You just need to read the Manual and look at allot of posts to compare your machine with others out there.

No one Machine can use All............ of Mach's Features.

Hope this is a Starting Point, Chip

Hi, Mills

I figured out the problem on the (Gcode) Posting Options page change the PreAmble to Post code Output Window to look like this,

G90
G80 G40

This is a reported problem, just not fixed yet, cant have G90 and aG91.1 on the same line.

Dose the same thing Hear.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Yodawill

I think its stand-alone, haven't checked it out in a while, I now it likes to be in a folder named Mach3 though.

Needs Win2000 or XP to run.

Hope this Helps, Chip
