General Mach Discussion / Limit tripped but nowhere near switch?
« on: September 13, 2019, 01:41:41 AM »
I was machining some mild steel yesterday and the limit kept tripping however I was in the center of the table with no switch anywhere close.
Does mach3 or perhaps the control board have a builtin feature where the limit will trip if the tool encounters too much resistance? Maybe as a feature to prevent damage to the machine when you crash the tool into something you cant cut?
I assumed this was the case because the machine works great everywhere else except when I was trying to use the side of the mill to cut with, and there and only there did the limit keep tripping.
fyi I have a C10 breakout board.
If this is a feature what is it called?
THanks!
