General Mach Discussion / Vacuum on Flooding

« on: August 25, 2007, 12:03:48 PM »

Is it possible to have like a SSR Relay hooked up to some pin (like Flood) and have it periodicaly sucking up the dirt automaticaly.
I mean I don't want to reinvent the wheel. But can somebody head me the right direction. Just like the Spindle enable/disable .
And you probably have to insert the gcode manualy, right ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: Shapes / Run from here ???

I was able to cut the 25pin d-sub on line 61 and then I put in a new piece to cut and it started from the first again. So I know it is possible but how ?
What wizard does shapes ??  I mean the D-Sub ??
Also I had to scale it up by 2.54. Also it states I should use no thicker than a 0.125 bit but my bit is about 3mm . Is there bit this thin even gonna hold the stress ?

General Mach Discussion / How to reduce overall workspeed

HI, I was gonna ask if it was possible to work some defined percentage slower than the machine would operate . But not line by line. Just reduced speed?

G30 and enter works wonders for me. I just want to go to Zero so I can take out the piece i 've been working on. Aparently Safe-Z is not gonna work since that is part of the software . I should write a macro instead.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Help File ?

OK I found it under tutorials. How stupid of me. But I couldn't find any list of all the key commands. I want do define GOTOZ to a Key shortcut. Also it would be nice to have SoftLimit on a key as well. Can that be user defined ?

I s there a help file or some sort of documentation for MACH 3 cause the wizard don't know much. And I'll be waiting to answer my questions for days. I could't find anything to download.
