General Mach Discussion / Re: Lathe tool offsets / strange movement ?

Has your machine got homing switches fitted?

If you have homing, what are the figures in the x and z dro after homing?

What figures do you have in your tool offset table for tool 3?

Are you working diameter or radius?

Is X zero on the centre line of the spindle and Z zero on the front face of the work?

Where did you get the Mach3 install from, if you have MachLoader icon on your desktop run that, there should be a KX3 profile.

Hi,

do you have micro switches as limit switches?

When you get the e-stop errors is the machine juddering or vibrating ?

Do you get the errors more during 3 axis simultaneous moves ?

Have a look in the g-code section of the forum there are lots of subroutine examples in there.

On the offsets page click 'Save work offsets', then click 'Save' in the window that pops up.

If that dose not work, go to Config menu, select Fixtures..., click save.
