Yes, I know. I meant that the move is slow. Sorry about the rapid statement.

Hi,

   If I type in a line of code like:

                              G01 y-.5 F3.

          The move takes several minutes to complete. I am running off line. I know that I am doing or I am not doing something that I should be doing. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the feed right?

Thanks,

General Mach Discussion / Sub Programs
« on: February 21, 2009, 04:59:47 PM »
Hi,

   I have several 5/8 diameter shafts that have to have slots milled across them. I would like to do the slots with a sub program. I have never done a sub program and I am not really proficient in G & M code. Can someone explain where to place the sub program so that it can be called with M98. What I want to do is move to the location for the slot, call the sub program, mill the slot, end the sub program, go to the next slot and repeat until all the slots are done.

Thanks,

        ErnieD

My apologies to everyone; old timers disease must be setting in. I forgot to set up for running offline.

Thanks to all who replied,

General Mach Discussion / Tormach version of Mach3

Hi,

   I recently had to up grade to a new computer and the computer people transferred all of my files from the old computer to the new one. Now when I try to run Mach3, not at the machine but on the house computer, I cannot get any code to run. The reset button is red and the scrolling message reads " emergency mode active press reset". Nothing happens when the reset is pressed. Anyone know what is wrong?

Thanks,

Brett,

      No, Ii do not have the feed rate down to zero. I finally opened my eyes and saw an error message that read roughly " the R,I&J words are missing from line 7". This means to me that I must have something set up wrong when I told my CAM package to generate the code. I must confess that I am a "noobie" to CNC and am just now trying to learn M & G codes. I am 74 years old and this stuff is a struggle for me to assimilate. I will continue to work with everything and hopefully I will finally see the light.

Thanks to everyone who replied,
