General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 Feed Rate very slow

« on: April 24, 2014, 08:26:10 PM »

there are other programs that will make M3 act that way .. firefox is one . if I have it  loaded with M3 the feed is very very slow.
make sure nothing else is running in the background. I have heard of other prgms that don't play well with M3 either. quicktime hides in the background and causes issues too.

nice work guys.
any way to pan on the tool path screen after you zoom?
also can you show the tool path extents  on the tp page, I guess that's possible to do with the editor?

is there a way to have the table of the mill automatically go to a set position after homing.
I would swear the home offsets in the homing and limits did that in some older versions.
thanks,

Troy,
would it be practical to do a rectangle than a circle over it? or a circle than a rectangle to square the sides?

it means your G code is asking for a higher spindle speed than is set in your "config -- spindle pulleys" setting.
if your not using spindle control set this number to any high number -- maybe 20000
