AH no it is not best to use the reload screen to return to mach3 you are leaving files open .

Can you describe exactly what happens so perhaps I can fix it. Do you get ANY error messages.

To modify the Code you have to edit it .  Go to Operator at the top of the screen, then selct edit button code , then select the Write Line button and it will open the Button code. You should be able to see in the code where the X moves. Change each location to where it needs to be.

OR if you already gave me all the offsets I will change it for you.

Interesting, How about sending down a version so I can try it AND a manual. If I can master it then almost anyone can if NOT?

The step over distance for each note on the scale is set by code it can be changed to anything you want.

The return to mach is a standard CB call. What is it doing there?

Might want to consider getting the Neo with a layer of fabric molded in.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

Using the A as a spindle with Gcode is not going to work very well for obvious reasons.

Unless you have a lot of hair you want to get rid of I would suggest doing it either in 3d with a 4th and live tooling OR Lathe style with singlepoint tooling or live tooling.

Those are the 2 options that you will find CAM support for.

I found the music SCALE for the rolls and updated the screen.  I also updated the Gcode output to match the scale.

There are other ways to do this as well if this does not work out for you.

YES it is possible but would require a lot of Plugin programing to pull it off.

Would be easier to talk to a PLC if it could do the job.

Then you have 1 or more axis BACKWARDS to normal convention OR you have a negative scaling set  -1 instead of 1
