« on: January 28, 2021, 11:49:48 PM »

Hi
I use Microsoft Edge and have has no issues before with this new version or the earlier version or any of Microsoft Explorer versions as I have been accessing it every day for many years.
Unless the software now has determined that the site is unsafe?

Mach4 General Discussion / FTP Server Access

« on: January 28, 2021, 01:51:23 PM »

Hi,
For a number of days the FTP Server no longer opens.
When I place the mouse over it, at the bottom it says the site is "ftp:\\ftp.machsupport.com", and when I click onto it, nothing pops up at the top of the webpage to launch it.
Is this server down?
I know that the server is not a secure server.
Regards,
Mauri.

Hi,
I just remembered on simulation you do not need M06 T2, only when cutting.
In the past I placed brackets (M06 T2) to it and all was OK.
But when machining you take the brackets out.
I has been some time since I used simulation and I just temporarily forgot.
Thanks,
Regards,
Mauri.

Craig,
The message comes up when it reaches the last line in this cutting script.

(madCAM 5Xtra 4 Axis for Mach3)

(Tool Offset Number = )

So I am not sure why it comes up.
It seems to do all the correct cutting actions all the way to the end.

Hi,
Using recent DEV versions of Mach4 I get this message showing at the bottom "Current Z Minimum to 0.0000 based on Parameter 1801" when running some code in Sym.
What does this mean?
Regards,
Mauri.

Mach4 General Discussion / No Official Update since August 2019 ?????

« on: September 20, 2020, 05:38:36 PM »

Hi,
We are all wondering and have been very patient as to when we will have an official working Mach 4 Program.
Steve is working very hard with fixing issues and adding development updates, but no one else at Mach4 seems to care about testing and releasing a new official program.
The Mach 4 V4300 released version in August 2019 as everyone knows has many issues and no one I am sure is using it.
Please do some testing and release a working solution so we can also do some CNC machining with confidence.
I am sure vehicle manufactures do not let the public do the testing before they release s a new one.
Regards,
Mauri.
