Please Please PLEASE post your skienforge. Been prowling around, and came up with this idea all on my own, started looking on how to do it, and found this thread.

General Mach Discussion / "Hey, can you cut the Router and Fan on?"

« on: March 13, 2009, 09:49:12 AM »

I heard a while back that i am supposed to be able to do this. Thought i might take the time and ask, get it wired up, and get going. I dread coming back up to the shop over the weekend after running a long job (12 hours sometimes more), just to turn the router and suction off.

I have the cnc4pc c11. I looked in the wiring diagram, and the manual, but i am a neophyte and it does not compute. Any help?

Thanks
Kenneth

When you say higher acceleration what exactly do you mean?

Meaning,

Right now i have Acceleraton a 5 for X and Y, and 8 for Z,

I can bump these to 20 or so (i think my max is 45?)

I'm going to have to try that.

So the 'unit' look ahead, its in inches huh? Can i put a decimal in that place, like, look ahead .1?

Thanks again for all the help.

 I'm still having trouble with Mach 3 and the CV settings.

I am trying to carve very detailed woodworking, but the CV keeps rounding allot of the details out. If i run a cetain design s 100 IPM it comes out rounded all over the place, but if i get it at 50 IPM it comes out "sharp edged.

I tried putting the unit distance setting from 180 to 50 or less , but didnt see and significant change.

I read a help text on the CV and it says that the unnit distance setting, ...... yea, what are those units?

Anyone with ideas on how to get mach to give me high detail at a higher speed? I know its gonna slow down on the detailed stuff, bt maybe it going faster on the "straitaways?"
