I run my machine at 45 V runs fine depends on how fast you want to run the cutter for small cutter's you can't run them to fast so you realy won't notice any difference on my machine the servos are 120 V

If your power supply is running on 220 V you can cut the voltage in half by running it on 110 V I run my Gecko servo drives that way works fine my machine has large servo motor's.

Thanks for the reply I did download the convert program but it will only read Tap files or it will not read the G-code file i was sent anyway i did see that the g-code did have a G-20 so Mach should do the math I'll give it a try and see how it go's thanks again.

Hi Dave
Just reading through the post and came across the above is your program only a probe program or a full functioning mill package?

Thanks

Yes i was talking about the native unit's from MM to Inches, when i set the machine up i like all my designs to be in MM so i set the steps per in MM The G-code i was sent was in inches and that's what i was wondering about how the scaling would work out and if Mach would do it or I had to convert it myself.

Hi Guy's
I have a guy who sent me a G-code file the file is in inch's but i have my mill set up to move in MM so question if i change the unit setting from MM to inch will Mach do the conversion ?

Thanks
