General Mach Discussion / Re: Can't deal with XP and old computers any more. Help!

« on: January 27, 2013, 09:31:34 PM »

SO you are tired of all the problems with the old stuff BUT want to jump right into the fire with a version not proven to run mach3 correctly???

Have you tried reloading the XP you have as a clean install Reformatting  the drive??

Just a thought, (;-) TP

XP is the prefered OS for Mach3.  You can still buy a new computer and load your version of XP on it. Then you have new hardware.

OR go to Tormach and buy a brand new computer with an embedded version of XP already installed.

NOT a good idea to mess with Machs XML. 

Besides Most of the info in the XML will be in mach3 somewhere where you can access it with CB.

When you say" When the axis moving the turn" do you mean a specific axis such as X or ANY axis in general XYorZ?

Share Your GCode / Re: Crossbones for a noob

Looking at your Gcode you have not set up you tools properly or setup the depth of cut properly.

The top of your material should be Z0.000. This will make all your CUTS to be below Z0.000  such as  Z-0.010 for a .010 cut.  IF you are cutting in steps to get to total depth your would use a Step value say .010 and a final depth of Z0.050. That would cut .010" at a time and repeat five times at a lower depth until it reaches .050" deep

You set the rapid height ABOVE the surface such as Z0.500  Approach heights could be closer to the top such as Z0.050


Hope that helps, (;-) TP
