General Mach Discussion / Turn off "all home" on 4th / A axis

« on: August 04, 2014, 09:06:33 PM »

I moved my CNC machine and I am in the process of setting it up. I do not want my rotary table to reference home. How do I prevent it form trying to home with other axises when it does not have a homing switch?

General Mach Discussion / How do I eliminate stepping / pausing when making 3d parts with rotary table?

« on: February 14, 2011, 04:47:41 PM »

I am milling 3d models using a vertical rotary table.  My machine is a home built 4 axis machine.  It works fine, but I want to get rid of the stepping between Z and A coordinates.  I have seen videos where the A movement is smooth and continuous.  What I am getting is my router moves to a then z then a then z and so on.  How do I set this up so A and Z movements are smooth and do not step?
