it is selected and the picture that you posted John is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish but for some reason it isn't that I will try to take a picture of what I see so that you can see what I'm talking about

General Mach Discussion / 4th axis setup in mach3

« on: February 03, 2015, 05:50:07 PM »

I am setting a 4th axis and for the most part i have it working just fine but for some reason the toolpath display is wrong my a axis wraps around the y axis  i am trying to have it display like a cylinder but for some reason it is displayed like a plate  it seems to cut properly ( alltho so far all i have cut is air ). I have searched for the solution and could not find it if its there please point me in the right direction thanks in advance

« on: December 06, 2014, 08:30:43 PM »

I am new here but i have looked for information on this motor driver( hx-ws400)  and cant find it so i am asking. I purchased this motor driver and spindle off ebay and now i want to hook this up to my mach3 software using the pwm to have speed control from the software. I also purchased  4 Axis Driver 2M542 4.2A & Breakout interface board. has anyone else purchased this  system and have it working and if so pleasae share how to wire up for pwm control thanks
