Mach4 General Discussion / Is this possible
« on: August 03, 2021, 01:09:54 PM »
When I bought Mach4 I was told that with a smooth stepper I could run a mill and lathe with the same machine at the same time. So I bought a smooth stepper. Well U can't open two instances of mach at the same time... So what I want to do is use a hub to connect two machines to the smooth stepper and run the mill and the lathe simultaneously.. Is it possible. I am also struggling with getting mach to control my lathe spindle speed. I have a soundlogic stepper controller and VFD hooked to a 3phase motor.. However I can only get 10V to the speed pin on the vfd.(full speed). I know it worked with mach3 but I lost a hard drive and all my setup data...So I am starting over with mach4. Mill is working great with mach4. Thanks for any help...
