Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 changes in V2
« Last post by Tweakie.CNC on September 10, 2026, 09:57:09 AM »Hi Tony,
Just from memory, the main change between the first version of Mach4 and Mach4 v.2 was a major update to the Lua version. This prevented the v.1 Lua scripts / macro's working correctly with v.2 so they had to be re-written.
Most of the changes introduced in v.2 can be found in the changelog;

General Mach Discussion / Re: Help needed with Mach 3 and spindle control
« Last post by smithcohn12 on September 10, 2026, 05:16:33 AM »I’d check the Mach3 spindle output and XHC plugin port/pin assignments first, because an incorrect spindle-enable or direction signal can cause the VFD to run immediately while leaving M5 ineffective.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Problem with Threading?
« Last post by Holzwurm56 on September 08, 2026, 01:57:10 AM »Hello,
I’m having a problem with thread cutting in Mach3. The cutting tool stays on track for the first 2–3 passes, but then it drifts off, ruining the thread. I’ve read that thread cutting only works with a specific version of Mach3. Does anyone have experience with this or know which version it is?
Thanks,
Hans
