General Mach Discussion / Using my mill as a CMM machine ??

« on: September 27, 2010, 03:05:49 PM »

I need to duplicate a motorcycle chaincase, but having difficuty manually measuring the basic outside shape of the part.
Is there some way to use my mill (which runs on Mach3), to probe the outside contour of the part so that I may then be able to input the results into my Cad program ( I'm using Dolphin Cad).
Thanks for any help, Dan.

General Mach Discussion / How to back-up Mach3 settings ?

« on: August 31, 2010, 08:30:20 AM »

It's been 3 years since I've installed Mach, and I'm concerned that if my computer crashes, I will lose all the settings I put in.
I'm not a computer whiz, but I do recall that there was a way to back the settings up.
Thanks for any help.
