General Mach Discussion / Mach3 or it could be sheetcam tng

« on: July 31, 2016, 08:34:21 PM »

I'm using mach3, sheetcam tng and autocad. My problem is this when i go to load the G-code into mach3 i can draw my part out with a sharpie on a piece of aluminum but my problem is the sharpie should pickup off the piece of plate move over drop down and draw out/cut and when the part is finished it should lift up above the plate. What it does is once i zero out Z and start it it doesn't lift up off the plat it draws a extra line. I think this has to be correct in sheetcam tng but not sure. Please bare with me treat me like computers for dummies lol
I dont quite understand the plunge rate if that is it. Any ideas? I have a picture what it did not sure if i can upload it here.

Thanks
Chris

I purchased a license from airsoft and someone from cnc group on facebook walked me through it over the phone and we got it to come up saying mach3 loader but it is still saying the demo version, so i guess when i get home from work i will try deleti g it all and starting from scratch and see if it will work ??

Hi,

My name is Chris i'm from Covington, Louisiana i just got a used laptop from a friends roomate who wiped it clean and added
Windows 10, I told him i wanted a computer that i could run Mach3 sheetcamTng, and autocad. Laptop is a Lenovo T420S 8 ram and a 128 SSD card i think he said.
I cant get the mach3 to load as a license it keeps saying demo. I'm not good with computers so please bare with me i'm learning.
Friend of mine passed away in April and he and another friend built a cnc plasma from scratch and well the older friend is a machinist and fabricator he doesnt know computers so i am doing my best to learn and then teach him.
This thing is a full turn key operation, i wanted this laptop so i could learn autocadLT then sheetcam then mach3, when i know
It works from home then i can load it into the machine. I know there are many other programs out there Nd well my friend must have used these because they work. I just need to get this Mach3 license goibg and then l'm set. Any advice would be greatly appreciated i'm at a loss right now. I emailed airsoft about it and still waiting for a reply and just found the forum here.

Thanks
Chris
