Hello experts on Mach!I have a problem i think can be solves with macros, but since i´m completely dumb on macro, I dont even know how to start. Here´s the thing: I´m running mach 3 on a laser cutting/marking machine for non-metalic material (wood,leather,acrylic, and so on) and every time the laser turns on to start a cut (M3), the axis moviments kinda dwells for about 0.5 seconds before following the path. As the laser beam is held for a while in a spot, this widens the cut, so theres always a hole where the cut starts. I´ve tried all sorts of menu configurations, hardware and tried also by Gcode, all useless. My thought was to make a dwell between the M3 code reading and the effective M3 activation of the laser. Theres any way that i can tell mach to hold for a while before sending the M3 signal to the hardware?
Many thanks for your kind support, sorry about the bad english....
