General Mach Discussion / Re: Is there a way to slow the speed of x and y

« on: October 04, 2017, 08:25:56 AM »

Question...Since we basically cut everything at a depth of either .125 or .1....I would like Z to start lets say .5" above the "0"
would it be better to offset the Z height in Mach or Just add .5 to the tool depth....so if I were to engrave something at .125....the tool depth would be .625..... we basically ...unless its a thicker plate.....engrave at those 2 depths.... I know its a matter of personal preference, just trying to get an opinion...We have a Zero Tool on the Dhalgren and Adjust the bit by a gauge on the spindle ........
Just wondering what would be a more practical setting for the CNC........Thank you.....Billy

Hi...Started to experiment with some brass....The x and y move too fast for the brass.... I have tried slowing the feed rate....
Other than Motor Tuning.....How can I slow the x and y movement........?

New Wrinkle...When I Set the Cut Depth in Lazy Cam...Could be .12   or 1,500,000.00...It does not drop below actual Z zero...

I don't think I can...Maybe Swap the pin Numbers

I reset The Machine "Home"...zeroed.....What happens now is that ....I hit the STOP button...and the Z Goes below the Zero Mark Setting.....So Close......Everything is how it should be except the Z... My Motor Settings are Where they should Be....X and Y Behave Perfectly...... But Not The Z

When I UnCheck Z Dir Pin...Page up Moves Z Down...Page Down moves Z UP...When It Zero's it wants to Drill below the actual ZERO mark...A LOT........What I Do Notice is this....X +0.000......Y+0.000    Z-0.000....Z Shows A Negative

When I Do That...Z Wants to Drill to the Bottom of the Table the Unit Stands on...It was Checked....Un Checked it and it was drilling to China....Pun Intended
