Hi,
what PC is it? What version OS is it using?

What type of controller is fitted to the machine?

Craig

Hi Craig, much thanks for helping a newbie!

We are using a desktop computer that's running windows 7. We are using Mach 3 with a porter cable router. The cable that's hooked up is like an older printer cable?

General Mach Discussion / Newbie Question - Redcam CNC won't run with Mach 3

« on: May 04, 2018, 01:57:55 PM »

Hi everyone....first post!

I'm a Manufacturing Teacher that was giving a Redcam CNC GR-Series table and Router. The problem I'm having is the CNC machine is not recognizing the Mach 3 software or computer. I can fire up the CNC, but there is no manual movement and/or movement from the Mach 3 software and/or the computer.

Also, just to add....the computer that runs the CNC machine was replaced about 2 months ago, and hasn't been used since then.

I've emailed Redcam and no response back yet.

Just wondering if anyone has any help, advice or tips on how to get the CNC up and running like it use to

Thanks in advance for all your help.
