It's the shorthand used in morse code for best wishes =73 and if you were talking to a YL ( young lady ) love and kisses = 88

But by ek you have made me feel very old try 1947 and 49 years married with a daughter at 47 plus grand kids

As I was into ham radio you pick up on the numbers


Sorry for the OT

Hope you get it all sorted soon and part made

Review DTG vidieos he explains it it one of his ox builds

No ball screws then AFAIK mach4 is not to good yet on backlash

But use a jo block and a dti to measure your movement.

There is a good right up in the Mach 3 manual , m4 does not have the auto tune though

It is explained in the m4 manual as well it's just a simple maths problem

You need to put it in your personal post folder on your pc , do a search for autodesk , in there is a folder called post, then when you create your code select personal post in the top drop down

As I said I do not use only Mac

I bet you have altered the font size in windoze in the display section

After all m3 uses the system font



Please don't shout I know I am deaf but take off the caps lock please

Mach support told me the same about the z move , when I sent in a bug report for 3155 ver mach4
That's why I got into the post code and made it do as I wanted , fusion also was not putting a m5 in yo stop the spindle before the tool change that was also put in to the cps file I posted

But as always test cutting air
