General Mach Discussion / multiple depth cuts

« on: June 02, 2022, 10:57:03 AM »

what do I need to do to make the Shapeoko cut multiple depths?  I want to cut 3/4" plywood with 1/4" bit in 2 passes.  I have tried saying the bit will only cut 3/8" at a  time, but the tool path shows cutting the plywood in one pass.  What do I need to change?

General Mach Discussion / Logitech Wingman

Has anyone sucessfully used a Logitech Wingman game pad as a remote control with Mach 3?  I am wanting to remotely jog all axes, move to 0,0, and start the cutting program.

General Mach Discussion / Limit/Homin switches

« on: May 16, 2008, 10:03:03 AM »

First time poster and newbie to Mach 3. 

I have a homing/limit switch on 3 different axis, wired in series, all hooked to the same port and pin.  After each switch is tripped in the Reference All Home routine I want the machine to move to some offsets that will become my regular working 0,0.  I understand this is possible to do via the homing/limit function.  I have placed the offset dimesnions in the G28 boxes in the lower left of the Homing/Limit screen.  The Auto Zero function is turned on for all 3 axis. but when the Ref. All Home button is pushed the machine goes to the different home postions for each axis, but does not move to the designated offsets.  What am I doing wrong?
