General Mach Discussion / why would my x0,y0, z0 change after I zero it?

« on: February 17, 2012, 11:21:28 PM »

I'm using a part that I've made before, but I just changed my toolpath strategy.

I started cutting it, didn't like it... so I re-did strategy. loaded new g-code... zeroed my dro... part starts cutting and it's off.

I stop it... look at my x,y it's x.634, y.634.

I go to MDI x0,y0 and table moves like 3 inches in both directions.

I restart computer, and it keeps doing same thing.

What's going on?

had version .020, upgraded to version .058 and now rpm displays like it should.

haven't checked all functions yet, but all I did was DL new version. everything seems to work fine. My mach screen isn't maximized though.

I was told to try the newest version of Mach by spindle tach supplier.

So I don't screw up my working machine, is there a tutorial or steps to installing the latest Mach version without screwing up all my settings? I think I have version .022? don't know how to check that

I'm using a 6axis blue screenset.

The spindle tach looks like it's working, but rpm value does not show in display. Apparently a known Mach bug?

Any help?
