What are you using to try and move the A axis? Keyboard, pendant etc?

Have you tried the +4 or -4 buttons on the jog pendant screen (press TAB keyboard button)?

Roelli,

Why not try the screen designers available for this very reason?

Those are very nice (FREE!!!) gifts from the makers  that took a lot of time to create them and worth trying

Thanks for sharing.

General Mach Discussion / Re: how to set up 2 probe inputs?

« on: April 20, 2010, 07:00:07 PM »

Hi Rich,

I'm sure there are other ways, but what I did was to use an 1/8th plug and jack setup for my different style probes and then just plug in the one I need at that point in time.

Here's the best pic I have to show what I mean:

Wow, I have no idea Bill, as I'm staying with the REV I'm using now as it's been stable for what I do and I'm good with that.

All 3 of my machines all have the home end buttons as A axis controller set in the Mach 3 right from the setup, not like I set it up that way.

As Hood mentions, this may have to do with the Rev changes, not sure.

It actually looked like a magic marker to me? Thought it was just a test and not a true engraving.
