Absolutely sick, my friend, just fantastic work. I can not thank you enough for sharing these, just stunning.

Can we see a final pic of the last one with the stone mounted?

Thanks,
Dave

Haydn,

I'm also not a user of the Powermate but maybe I can help in some way. Just to be sure you installed the plugin correctly by clicking on it and it will say, plugin installed!

Now Open Mach 3 and with Mach 3 open, in the user menu: go to: Config/config plugins and the config box should come up. Now next to griffin blah blah blah, you should see a red "X" and you should click on that to change it to green check mark. Then click the yellow config box and that will bring up another box.

This is where I will be no help as I do not have one of these but have you at least completed the steps I just mentioned?

Chris, thanks for the very entertaining video 

I did notice at counter number 7600 in the video, you wanted to check "Always stay low" but you never ended up checking it. Just thought I'd add that bit of info for you as it may be good to know for some reason. 

Thanks as always for your helpful videos, I always learn a bit more from watching them-

Finished Plugins for Download / Re: added 10 custom macros and reversable axis to the shuttle pro

Seems really odd that it apparently worked for some users.

Did we get a number of reports that it worked fine?

Greg

Greg,

As far as I can see by the "New Plug-in just about done" thread, only Ray L. has confirmed it worked. "Sharbold" (Sam) said his worked but it was not connected to a machine so that may make a difference, not sure.

I know "Lemo" was the one who was looking for this to begin with and we have yet to hear from him to see if his is working so hopefully he'll chime in eventually. I personally was just looking for more macros and this is just fantastic to have-

Thanks, Scott 

Just a thought, maybe you'd want to make both of the plug-in versions available since, for some reason, reverse works correctly for some of these?
