General Mach Discussion / Setting Multiple passes?

« on: November 15, 2012, 06:22:40 PM »

I"m engraving into aluminum and would like to know how to set up multiple passes to get deeper. I keep breaking bits if I try and do it all in one pass.
Can't find a setting for this anywhere and I tried to download the Mach3 manual from the Mach3 website but the english version is corrupt and won't let me download it
I have everything working good except I can't figure this out
Thanks in advance

General Mach Discussion / Homing help

« on: December 13, 2011, 10:58:08 AM »

Hi Newbie here
I bought the Zentools 7x7 cnc and have Mach 3
I'm having trouble setting up the home switches
I have 2 switches in series for each axis so they are both home and limit switches
when I hit ref all  z axis homes perfect but the next one   y  will hit the switch and keep going
I've read for hours on this site and elsewhere but can't figure it out
any help would really be great
