Hi, Larry

It would help if you could take a couple of pic's of the Machine, Control Box and Part Numbers....., Is it stepper or servo ?

Hi, Larry

Max NC uses ether Quadrature or Rollover on Most of there Drives.

If Stepper, Max NC "Checked" on Config, Ports & Pins Page,

"Z" axis pin's 2,3,4,5,
"X" axis pin's 6,7,8,9,
"Y" axis pin's 1,14,16,17,

It uses all the output pin's so I don't think it has an Enable pin from Mach3.

In Config, Ports & Pins, Output's Page, No pin's selected.

In Config, Motor Tuning, Set Step & Dir. Pulse's to 5

Then Continue with Motor Tuning and Such.....

SEQUENCE For Z Pin's

Z | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Pin's

A | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0
B | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0
C | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0
D | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1

SEQUENCE One Dir. A,B,C,D,A,B,C..... or Other Dir. D,C,B,A,D,C,B......

Let us Know, Hope this Helps get you Going.

Hi, Art

Thanks for the comment's, It's never an easy road to travel.

In the picture below, Previous ver., It's a .050 cutter, What's the top line profile used for, It seems to have an error/break at the arrow and at several other locations.

Thanks, Chjp

Hi, Art

Been thinking about this .1 and Smaller values issue, always thought LazyCam worked with Unit's.

OK, So when LC is loading Inch DXF's, Multiply by a factor of 10, 100, 1000 or some Suitable Factor, Then after it's finished and ready to Post, Divide out the Scaled Factor Used. ? Thought's

You now, I'm Really think about this In-side and Out-side Profile Stuff.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Art

The mouse click on "NO" just seems to step you through the sort, Only the "N" press key seems to execute the sort routine.

Yesterday was a tool setting and crash fiasco hear !!, Much better today.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Art

I asked this early on in LazyTurn development as have others.

Would you please give us an Option to Just turn off the Tool Collision Avoidance feature.

I now it's a valuable feature and I'm willing to test it, But in the overall scope of being "Lazy" it's way out there.

It dose seem to work very well with some Tool's, Some Cam's you can turn it off.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, RC, Art

Yes I see, It doesn't like the mouse click's, "N" to Continue, Second Post attempt it error's to TODO shutdown.

Art, I think you let a "Rat"  lose with the Vista Fix Stuff !! 

Thanks, Chip

Hi, RC, Rich

Generated the tap file with  LazyTurn, Yes, Kept the major profile and reduced the overall OD.
