G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: help with mach 3 not running at g coded feedrate

« on: September 13, 2013, 08:24:43 AM »

the next line goes back to 250
I'd seen this happen to from time to time with some of my runs, not sure why mach was doing it so I had to change my post to output feed rates on all g1 moves. Just thought it was another quirk with mach. Very exciting when it took off at rapid rate during what should have been a feed move. For awhile I had the rapid override set and turned on to a feed rate that would save me from cussing.

Zafar that is interesting I would like to see that script. Cool idea. I was thinking of replacing a couple of large slaved steppers with AC servos and that would work well for my needs.

Thanks

I created a screen tab a couple of years ago that does inside/outside of features & alignments, but found that depending on the mach3 version... issue arise. Finding the more I use Dynomotion the more I like it.

But good job Terry... You are keeping busy!
SOMEDAY! you are going to have to learn Lau?

Rich that is very Purrrrdy. Now should/will you let your wife use it? Always amazed of all the dull knives in a women's Kitchen.

Toilet paper, bathrooms and knives, don't sound like Id be interested in seeing the tests.
Or Is this for Man-Scapeing?

I found that a NC (Normally Closed) wiring switch choice worked better for me on my large table router(cuts 65 x 110). I am using roller lever action micro switches. Then it is finding the right debounce interval settings, seems like it was between 300 and 450. Watch the Diagnostic page to see the LED in action.

I had the same issue, spot welded a plate in and then ground and smoothed to suit, filled it in with Fiberglass Auto body filler. Sand and paint. And it had 20 holes. But it was Cheap. Now it looks like new.
